I was wondering if anyone has gone through Chemotherapy and experienced Memory loss or a "set back" for a longer period of time than said time "alotted" for this particular "side effect" which has resulted in Autistic/Aspergian mannerisms?

Did you have autistic like qualities before chemo? Maybe executive functions and inhibition controlled were affected with chemo?

How old were you when you got chemo? If you were very young, you may have developed autistic like qualities regardless of chemo, if you were older and getting chemo-than this does not hold true.
