But I agree that Cheese has shown some very autistic traits. In fact, he reminds me a lot of Dustin Hoffman's lead role in Rain Man.

As someone else with Asperger's Syndrome, I think you are being far too sensitive about this. It is quite obvious that by idiot savant she did not mean High Functioning autism, as Aspergers is, but someyhing lesser. I for one don't care; Idiot Savant is a word and censorship is ridiculous.
