I went to HS with an autistic girl. She was one of those idiot savante types (sorry if that's not the correct identification). She also attended my university, and the last time I spoke with her, she was doing okay as a French ed major. I have no idea who would hire her though.
I recall her being very gullible, as well as religious (some might say that the two often go hand in hand?). Anyhow, I had her convinced at one point that praying could only be done in Latin. That's what the Pope told me at least.
Maybe you had to be there to think it was funny...
