'Dad and I' Kim Jeong-tae and his wife saw their eldest son Jihoo enter high school.
On the 8th, TV CHOSUN's 'Dad and I' (hereafter 'Dadna') featured Kim Jeong-tae and his wife and their son Jihoo visiting a hospital in Seoul. Although he excels academically, Kim Jeong-tae and his wife suspected their son had Asperger's syndrome.
The doctor said, "Several notable points appear in the intelligence test. Spatial-temporal intelligence is at the top 0.5% level. It is very high," and "the second characteristic is that, compared with that, verbal intelligence is markedly low. Verbal is in the bottom 14%." Jihoo found features of Korean such as 'understanding words in context' difficult, so English was better for him.
The doctor said, "Academically speaking, broadly it's the autism spectrum; narrowly, it's Asperger's," adding, "It's mild but corresponds to Asperger's syndrome," and "parents should think this syndrome applies; otherwise they may miss the chance to give the child an opportunity to improve," he urged.
