Being likely that you had your MMR around 24 months or before, how could anyone really tell if you did not have autism before? Or put it this way, autism is not usually diagnosed before a certain age and mostly likely you could not have been diagnosed when you have your MMR, so there was no real way of knowing if you were NT before or not.
Someone is just telling you that the MMR caused your autism. You might have reacted to your MMR vacinnation as some people react to flu shots etc but it does not mean that it caused your autism. Studies have been done that show that there is no relationship between MMR and autism. You can look them up. But really, what good is having a cause for your autims going to do for you? It could be genetics or other things but pinpointing a cause for your autism will not change anything.
