Fergid
Well, Fergid is happy and stable...he hasn't grown a single millimeter and is still 14.5, so I can go to a two-year MRI schedule.
What does bother me is the side view:
From that view, it really looks like it should be affecting my brain, but the doc assures me it's not (although I'm not that big on doctor assurances lately). If it does grow another .5 of a millimeter, then we have to start talking radiation or head-cracking, but he said I could go my entire life without it changing at all or it could literally blow up over night (something to look forward to).
While I had his attention, I did ask him if any studies had been done about Asperger's and meningiomas and he said to his knowledge there haven't been. Then he showed me another MRI image that actually shows my Aspergers, but it has too much patient information on the pic and I don't have the energy to edit it all out (and I'm sure you guys don't care anyway).

It is amazing how much we know about the brain (being able to "see" the Asperger's activity) and also how little we know.
