help with pre-school booster

Hello, I know there are several comments already about this, and have read Spoons78 comment, anf feel the same.

My Son is 3 and Iv just had the Pre School Booster reminder come through the post.  I never knew anthing about the whole MMR and Autism thing when my son was a baby and he had his jab.  Obviously now its all i hear and see that they are possibly linked.  I know some say they are not etc, but anyone who does not have autistic children have to remember you dont know what its like to have that constant concern that there could possibly be a link.  My son has Autism, however, it is mild in many ways.  Speach is the biggest problem as he can not talk yet.   Like so many my fear is IF i allow him to have the booster, will his Autism get worse.  When you have a Autistic child and you see progress, no matter how small, its a MASSIVE achievement and the last thing you want is for them to get worse or go backwards not forwards.

 I do know that making sure your child is protected form MMR is important, but how can any parent know what to do for the best if you could protentially be making there condition worse.   Any goverment, medicle practice board, large pharmcy corporations etc etc will tell you they are not link, IF its in there interest not to (Do any of us really know the truth about what really goes on).  What i just dont get, is my son was just like any other baby and toddle, crawled, babbled, ate anything you gave him, etc. but once he turned two and after his Vaccine, everything seem to stop.  No speech, wouldnt eat (now only eats 4 things, (all sugary and no good for him, resulting in now having to have all his baby teeth removed, due to decay, where we just cant not brush them or get him to) he has bowl trouble, not toilet trained and everything eles that comes with Autistic traits.  It all just seems to coincidental.  Even when health visitors say there is no connection, all i think is, is it more than her jobs worth to say it is.  I just don't know what to think.  Is certainly something that does drive you mad thinking about, and totally understand how parents change there minds all the time. 

Of course i want to keep my son safe, that is a given, but the fear of his Autism getting worse and his life becoming even more challenging that what it already is, is also something i do not want for his sake. 

For the people that say, its better someone getting Autism worse than what they already have it, rather than scars of Mumps etc.   Its not better either way.
