While there are behavioral similarities between Kim and Hoffman'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, "I 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.

"He has a photographic memory, but no way to minimize stimuli," Christensen said. "He's the closest I've seen to a human computer." "You'd expect someone with these mental skills to have something extra in his brain, but there's actually something missing," Christensen said. Brain scans show an absence of the bundle of nerve fibers the corpus callosum that connects the two halves of the brain.
