Talented Idiot || a five minute prompt
Well, I am tempted to say that the idiot is a compliment. Talent does not shield a person from being an idiot though, we've seen that happen to celebrities who are well talented and are not upholding their assumed IQ.
I eventually found out that there is a name attached to something like this, so I will just share them with you:
"Idiot savant" is a term used to describe someone who has a developmental disability but is also highly skilled in a specific area. For example, an idiot savant might be a talented musician or have a highly developed memory. Link
The term "idiot savant" originated between 1925 and 1930. It comes from the French phrase idiot savant, which literally means "learned idiot".
The term is used to describe people with developmental disabilities such as autism or mental retardation. It's often used to describe people with advanced mathematical and memory abilities. Link
As rightly stated, this in no way affects their talent or their ability to showcase what they have.
