I'm not interested particularly in a diagnoses other then how this could impact my son with the MMR.
I'm not diagnosed, my nursery told my mum something was wrong with me and subsequent primary school suggested autism as I was still not reading at 8 and did not have any friends or take any real notice of other people. My mum refused any tests, diagnosis or referral to anyone and taught me to read herself. My writing also caught up though I went through a long period of writing everything backwards.
However I grew to love English and it became my favourite subject, I got A*s at GCSE level.
I have always struggled with people and still have no friends that I am close to and see regularly. I have though spent most of my life studying them iyswim? My main way of getting along with people is to remember every conversation I've ever had with people, going back years.
If it wasn't for my son I would probably be content not to see people at all and just use a computer.
However I can deal with people for the most part, I've held down jobs and been married, I'm fairly happy as I am and am not looking for any change in my life or how I live it.
Don't know which parts, if any, are relevant here so just put it all down!
Anyway my mum mentioned once about the school telling her I may have autism/aspergers and I've never given it to much thought but I'm concerned about my son having the MMR.
Already at 11 months he is a little people person, and if I'm not just introverted and do have aspergers I don't want him to lose his love of people.
I did this test online and scored 38.
So the point of this post really is what should I do about the mmr for ds? Who can I speak to? WWYD in my position really.
TIA and sorry for the mammoth post
