Properties
Instance of
Self-AdvocacyandAuthenticProfessionalIdentityPrinciple
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Self-AdvocacyandAuthenticProfessionalIdentityPrinciple
Applied to
Engineer A's deliberation about voluntary autism disclosure
Self-advocacy movement's encouragement to share personal identity in professional contexts
Balancing with
Career self-interest
Personal Privacy Right in Professional Self-Disclosure
Prudential Disclosure as Relational Self-Protection
Concrete expression
The self-advocacy conference and Engineer A's desire to be open about his autism represent the affirmative right — though not obligation — to voluntarily disclose personal identity characteristics as an expression of authentic professional self-presentation and self-determination, independent of any strategic relational calculus
Confidence
0.85
Importance
high
Interpretation
Self-advocacy as an ethical principle affirms that voluntary disclosure of personal characteristics, including disabilities, is an expression of professional autonomy and authentic identity; it is ethically permissible and potentially valuable for inclusive professional culture, even when not required
Invoked by
Autism Support Conference Speaker
Engineer A Present Case Disability-Disclosing Licensed Engineer
Tension resolution
The self-advocacy principle does not override the privacy right but complements it: both disclosure and non-disclosure are ethically permissible; the choice belongs to Engineer A as an autonomous professional
