Actor Jeong Jung-ah said her son's autism spectrum diagnosis was misdiagnosed.

"A few years ago, a daycare center teacher asked for counseling, and he said he couldn't make eye contact and couldn't interact," Jeong-ah said on MBN's "Body Insights," which aired on the 9th. "When I went to the local pediatrician, I recommended an autism test."

However, Jeong-ah said that the diagnosis results were different for each hospital, explaining, "One hospital was diagnosed with autism and the other hospital was diagnosed with autism and intellectual disability at the same time."

Regarding the symptoms his son suffered, he confessed, "I couldn't say hello and put my face on the wall so that my lips would explode if someone touched me," adding, "I've never felt such pain in my life."

In addition, Jeong-ah said, "As I kept playing, I got better little by little. Later, I retested at a university hospital, and I heard that the autism spectrum diagnosis was misdiagnosed. The diagnosis was changed to a delay in development and was diagnosed with a complete recovery in 2024, he said.

He also revealed his son's current development status. "My son is good at concentration and math," Jeong-ah said. "At the age of 6, I had to solve 160 questions in 30 minutes at the math competition, but I was in the top 1.85%. I also took a Chinese character level 7 test," he explained.
