Concussion causes boy to become musical prodigy.

“I fell backwards and hit the back of my head on the ground,” he told CBS4. “I remember getting up and feeling really dazed. I didn’t really understand something bad had happened.”

Connors began exhibiting some concerning behaviors, but his parents took him to a doctor and they gave him the okay to return to the field.Another hard hit or two — possibly concussions — then sent Connors to the hospital for weeks, and epileptic seizures followed.

“He started to hallucinate and had these mini hallucinations,” Hamilton said.

When Lachlan got out of the hospital, doctors said he shouldn’t play contact sports anymore. That was a heartbreaker for Connors, but in the wake of that disappointment Connors found that he suddenly could play music almost effortlessly.

Connors can now play “roughly 10 to 13 instruments.” That includes piano, guitar, mandolin, ukelele, harmonica, karimba and bagpipes — both Scottish and Irish ones.

“When Lachlan plays it’s absolutely beautiful,” his mom said.

Dr. Spyridon Papadopoulos told CBS4 it’s as if those concussions turned on a new part of Connors’ brain."

Maybe if I smack my head hard enough I'll become a genius too, which is clearly my only hope.
