Kim, 37, is an ex- temely rare prodigious savant, capable or recalling vir tually anything his senses have ever told him. But while Kim has a seemingly unlimited-ability to absorb and recall facts and figures — including numbers in the telephone book — he’has limited reasoning power and his 1Q is a below-average 88. He always has lived with Fran in thé Salt Lake City area, accompanying him on frequent business trips since a 1981 divorce from Kim’s mother “Lam Rain Man,”* Kim said in an interview, “This isan important time for me, I have many talents now.’ Morrow, who calls Kim. “‘an island of genius,”’ believes the movie has changed Kim. “When I first met him, after he talked to me he dashed across the room -and-made tow moaning soun: ds,’ Morrow said. ‘*Now, he would walk into a room and offer you his hand.”* Kim’s father, who asked for|the sake of privacy that his and Kim's last name not be used, agrees that his son is changing. After a special screening of Rain Man for the Utah legislature, Kim stood up and stressed the importance of understanding the needs of the han dicapped HE’S LEARNING “IL had no idea he could talk to those guys that way,”” Fran said thoughts together.”* “He is really léarning to put his After meeting father and son, Morrow decided he would pair a savant like Kim childlike brother trusting and sometimes with a greedy, self-centred and impatient “Then I put them in acar,and had them drive across the country together,"’ said Morrow, nominated for an Oscar for his screenplay. It chronicles the relationship ~ between Raymond Babbit, an autistic savant played by Dustin Hoffman, and his brother, Charlie, played by Tom Cruise. “1 don’t want to take away from the other people that helped Dustin create the character,"’ Morrow said from Claremont, Calif., ‘but Kim was- the first in- spiration for the story.”” Coincidentally, Frank and Kim were rolling down the freeway when they heard the news last week that Rain Man had been nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best picture and best actor, Kim has seen the movie three times, the first seated at the Premiere between Morrow and Fran. Kim stared t his hands and the floor during most of the mov When Morrow asked him why, Kim told him he had seen it with his *heart.”” While there are behavioral similarities between Kim and Hof{man’s film character, Kim is far more outgoing. Two years ago he spent an afternoon with Hoffman on a movie set, the actor mimicking his movements and his walk When it -was over, Kim-recalls, Hoffman said, may be the star, but you are the heavens.”” Daniel Christensen, medical director of the Western Institute of Neuropsychiatry at the University of Utah, has made a thorough study of Kim.
