Welcome back, Saphirewild!  We missed you last month.  Hope you had a nice break!  

Trust ma it was no break I was in meeting most of last month at the school that my middle ganddaughter is going to because she has Audtism on a spectrum and she was partly deaf for a couple yrs until I took her to a specialist and he put some tubes in her ears, now she is playing catch up for all the lost time. So we have to make special plans for her learning next school year.

I had several sets of tubes in my ears as a child because I had fluid in my eardrums. My understanding of the situation is that my parents noticed that I wasn't speaking normally, so a doctor asked me to say "chicken" and I responded "shicken". I had a speech impediment until I was a senior in high school that I still hear anytime I hear my real voice, even though nobody else seems to notice it. If only my parents had listened to any of my teachers who suggested that I also had ADHD!

Also, minor nitpick, but autism is a spectrum, so saying that she "has autism on a spectrum" is a pleonasm.

As it was told to me because my grandson has full blown Autism the difference is my granddaughter can talk and do most stuff like the regular joe can and my grandson can not talk very good yet nor can he do most stuff by himself.

That is why I say she has it on a spectrum because she is not as bad as her brother.

That further illustrates the proper use of the term "spectrum", though; they are both on the autism spectrum, just at different points, in the same way that blue and yellow are different points on the color spectrum. "Full blown" autism is the extreme end of the autism spectrum, but it is still on the spectrum. A more common way to describe your granddaughter is to say that she has "high-functioning" autism.
