[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about other industries, but in the high tech industry, during the interview process, they are asking a lot more brain teaser type questions rather than straightforward programming questions.

For example, at Google, even for engineering jobs, they will ask brain teaser questions.  You have to answer verbally.  They are not looking for the "correct" answer, but rather looking at how your thought process works (kind of like how some of the CC standards want to see thought process worked out), and how quickly you can think on your feet.

I don't know much about SN kids who are nonverbal.  Would such kids have issues dealing with these types of interview questions?

My point is that even in some STEM fields, verbal and written communication skills are quite important.  So, even if your SN nonverbal child is good at math, but not good at verbal skills, that may still be a problem when they go into the working world.   I only know about the tech field because that's what I am in. Maybe other STEM fields are different. [/quote]

If your child is still non-verbal in elementary school and not starting to talk by 4-5, you have bigger problems to worry about then your child passing common core or the curriculum set up for it.  Nor, are you worrying about your child getting into a STEM field.  You are pouring thousands into private therapies and advocating for public therapies just to get your child to even say "mom" or "I love you."  Do any of you have late talkers (late as in 4-5-6, not 2-3) or non-verbal older kids?  Seriously, we aren't worried about STEM or common core.  We are just trying to get our kids verbal.  I could not care less what my child passes or fails as long as he tries his best.[/quote]
