Hi, my first post here. Hope it's OK.
Does Asperger's / ASD 'inoculate' one against the insanity of Belief and religion?
I think it does - 'normal' people are susceptible to Belief (and populist rabble-rousing) as a direct result of their ability to divine (sorry couldn't help that!) meanings from insufficient data, unlike us, and often get it spectacularly wrong, hence Religion in all its glorious idiocy.

Neuro-Typicals ("normal" people) DO seem to be the ones most likely to ascribe to some religious mumbo-jumbo. We Aspies are too intelligent!
