Sage, yes - in other words, these people with developmental/intellectual disabilities are generally, for lack of a better word, untainted by experiences that make us normal folks manipulative in nature.
On the flip side though, their actions and their own grasp of what is 'right and wrong' may not often fit with what is usually acceptable and 'politically correct' in our world.
Visa's friend may have been molested but to that handicapped person, it may be perfectly alright or as I said, he might not even know the meaning of 'right' and 'wrong'. Not that I do not sympathize with Visa's friend but I do not understand the situation enough to comment.
Personally, I think there are still lots of things in life that we barely understand, and lots of it still baffles even the brightest minds of science and medicine. A perfect example will be autistic savants, some of them capable of mental feats beyond comprehension. These prodigious savants are known for their seemingly limitless mnemonic skills, with many having eidetic or photographic memories but in other areas, they are still impaired, be it socially or behavior wise.
There are several musicians of exceptional talent, for example Derek Paravicini, a blind English music prodigy and an autistic savant. Despite being blind since he was a baby, Derek is able to, with a great deal of precision and accuracy, detect and recognize not just one but multiple notes played at once.
