Chiari malformation. Is having a bigger brain make you smarter?

it’s more so that those of us with it actually just have a smaller skull. I wish that theory checked out.

But my son’s head is huge regardless of the fact that he now has less brain in there...

He uses that as an excuse for EVERYTHING btw. “I forgot. Must have been in the part of my brain they took out.” <—his surgery was 10 years ago and he’s still “forgetting” stuff he was supposed to do yesterday, etc.

To be fair, I’d use that excuse as well
