MRI, anyone?

Both of my boys are on the spectrum... 8 1/2 with Asperger's and 6 1/2 with HFA. In all of the assessments, evaluations, specialist visits, etc. that we have done over the years for both of them, no one has ever recommended doing an MRI. Recently we saw a top-notch geneticist at Mount Sinai (in NYC) and she expressed just about shock that we had not done this for the boys. A very close friend of mine is a pediatrician and has begun to become quite educated about ASD, and she has recently been telling me that an MRI is a standard part of the autism work-up.
I think we are going to take the boys to get it done, even though the odds are their results will be "normal"... I'm wondering how many of you have done the MRI on your kids and if you have anything to say about it.
Thanks!
