Child prodigies

[Parsifal]

I found an interesting yahoo question on this topic: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/inde ... 458AA679po

I wondered if their problem is that they become "mature" or get their puberty too soon (too much stress hormones and that would explain why they die young for most of them)?
Also I wondered how they can get so phenomenal faculties like memory (photographic/eidetic)? Is there a biochemical way to explain it?

I think the first answer is good. But don't underestimate how shitty it is to be an adult and have to go through kindergarten, school and all that stuff anyway.
