The story of this youngster's short life is abbreviated more than it should be. He graduated from high school, which was home schooling, at ten years old, and then took a class at community college and independent study courses at Colorado State University over the four years before he took his own life. I can't find any video of him performing or recordings on Youtube, although admittedly it was 16 years ago. I wonder if he had opportunities to socialize with kids his own age, or had same age friends, since he didn't meet them in school like most kids? No matter how well Brandenn did on an IQ test or could play a piano, he was no more ready to deal with puberty than any other boy. Did the people around him realize that because he talked like an adult?
