    It totally depends on where the brain lesion it. Every area of the brain controls something different. Things like autism and schizophrenia are the results of brain lesions in certain areas of the brain.

    "Brain lesion", believe it or not, just is a way of saying that there is a thing-a-ma-bob in the brain. It tells you NOTHING about the size, or the nature of the "thing", just that there is a "thing" or damage, that should not be there which usually shows up on a CT scan or MRI. The effect on you or a child depends upon how big the lesion is, where it is in the brain, and what it actual is (example: tumor, infarct, abscess, etc.).
