mmr jab and austim

the major said:

i cant help but wonder if austim is just a side affect of the mmr jab i dont think it is but can anyone help by proving my right that austim is not just a side affect of the mmr jab?  

My son, Luke, was born at the height of the Wakefield affair.  At the time we looked long and hard at whether we would give Luke the MMR.  We did a lot of research and in the end decided that he would not have it.

To be honest we noticed a massive change in Luke after he had the tripple set of jabs at 8, 12 and 16 weeks and we decided that he reacted so badly to them that they would be the last jabs that he had.

Luke had a lot of food intolerances when we was young including eggs, nuts and dairy so whenever I was approached to ask why he had not had the MMR I told them he was allergic to eggs and since MMR is cultured on eggs he could not have it.

We feel bad enough that Luke has ASD but I am sure we would have felt a lot worse had we let him have MMR as we would have thought we caused it be letting him have the injections.  This would not have been the case but it would not have stopped us making the connection.
