There’s the weight of expectation as well. But also being a child prodigy is impressive but being an adult who is really good at sth is far less so. That reality must hurt when they realise that other adults may not have played piano at 4, but now they’re all 30 yr olds who can.

Every case is different of course. Some kid prodigies become adult prodigies too. Others are slightly more talented than their peers or a lot more but not enough to draw the same admiration they used to. Others just did things early and are just average to just good as adults.

Some are often called geniuses when they are persistent,but not brilliant,and sometimes,others who really are,and since their brain is in full development and when their tutors do not have the skills to guide them,become social outcasts...They don't fit in our awful societies

I muse about Tiger Woods, at age 3 playing golf with Bob Hope, a bit before winning all those "Majors," as inconsistent with the loss of child prodigy status. But now Tiger is more known for use of his...third putter, akin to most mortal menhttp://nyti.ms/2BfX9JQ
