My son, while not diagnosed, probably falls on the autism spectrum. He was a perfectly develping child, had about 10-15 consistent words and hit every major milestone by the time he was 18 months old. He got really sick and regressed to not speaking at all, now 3, and had some other things like poor eye contact and bad play skills that set in, those have improved though not his speach. This happened 2 weeks before he was supposed to get the MMR vaccine. He still hasn't had the shot but not for the autism reason, just hadn't gotten a chance. It's a very tough pill to swallow and many try to find something to blame. MMR is given right around the time where regression typically occurs. I think it's a coincidence personally.

Sorry to see that no one has replied to your post. Please be sure that your child is followed regularly by a pediatrician or Family doctor and that you share these concerns with him. The way you have worded it makes it difficult to determine whether he does see one or not. If he is diagnosed/the doc is concerned, they can get you referrals to Early Steps programs and early social interactions and therapy which have been shown to really help with how affected kids are able to interact with the rest of the world later on in life.
