Do you have a personal experience that persuaded your opinion on the possibility of MMR immunization causing/increasing chance of autism?

My husband and I were discussing when we would have our child immunized today, and if anyone here has personal knowledge on the subject I’d like to hear it. I’ve read just about every legitimate article I can find on the topic, but there are so many different views that I want to hear personal experiences from my fellow Flutherites!

Besides just whether or not the shot increases the risk or causes Autism, do you feel that waiting until the child is older helps reduce the risk? If so, how old? And, do you feel that taking the immunizations as three seperate shots over time helped or made a difference?

Please don’t recite passages of articles (I’ve read many of them myself, I just want to hear personal experiences instead of research results)... just tell me what you did and how it worked. Thanks!
