Define smart.
You can be plenty "mentally challenged" and still be quite knowledgable/skilled/intelligent with regard to certain things. (think Rain Man...or any inbred toothless guy working at the local Auto Lube (I realize not all auto mechanics are retarded, just the inbred, toothless ones))
The boy was special ed, there is no doubt, it's brought up repeatedly. But he's also a good survivalist/wilderness guy, partially cause he had to be.
