"Dad and I" Kim Ji-hoo, Kim Jung-tae's son, tested for Asperger syndrome.
TV Chosun's "Dad and Me Season 3," which aired on the 8th, depicted the story of Kim Jung-tae and his wife who visited the hospital for the examination of their eldest son Kim Ji-hoo, who is suspected of Asperger's syndrome.
On this day, Kim Jung-tae's wife showed concern, saying, "I was expecting that Ji-hoo would have Asperger." Asperger's syndrome is a type of autism spectrum disorder, which has no major problems with intelligence and language development, but is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication.

Kim Jung-tae's wife said of the moment when she suspected Ji-hoo's Asperger, "At first, I started listing things and lining up, but the teacher told me to 'run in line one by one', but when Ji-hoo asked me to 'draw a sketch' in art class, I was told that they tend to color right away or do what they want." He told me to send him to an alternative school. It was hard then. That's why I transferred," he explained.
He added, "I have to go to high school next year, but I've wanted to go to a dormitory since a long time ago, and I wondered if I could get out of my parents and go into one different society and adapt well."
Kim Jung-tae's wife told Ji-hoo, "I'm going to ask an expert if you can get along well alone," and Ji-hoo said, "It's bad," and expressed fear of the prosecutor, "I think I'll break my heart if I hear it from the doctor."
Kim Jung-tae soothed him, saying, "It's not a shocking counseling," but Ji-hoo was cautious, saying, "I don't like someone else to know myself."
