Source Evidence
Source text
One of the speakers presented on self-advocacy, which encourages autistic individuals, when able, to share who they are and what they can do.
Text references
After considerable thought, Engineer A considered the language in the NSPE Code of Ethics, which requires engineers to 'avoid deceptive acts.'
Engineer A would like to be open about his autism, but because Engineer A obtained his employment without disclosing his autism, Engineer A is concerned that doing so might place his career in jeopardy.
