The phrase "idiot savant" implies the presence of some form of skill. We are talking about Anita, right? I'm sure any skill she's had has atrophied from lack of use.
I don't remember Anite being all that retarded in the early books. It's amazing she can breathe and eat now considering how often she has to "test her understanding".
