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.
