I don't think Destiny is a mental giant or anything, but I don't think she's dumb or even slow, she's just profoundly average. But she is motivated to work, able to keep steady employment, and willing to learn. In FL, she was taking college courses when amber first moved there and before amber got the job where destiny was working. I don't know if she stopped because she had less time while carting amber around, or she stopped when they moved to KY. Also, at the care home where she and dana were working in FL, destiny proudly talked about the various certifications and courses the job paid for her to take/get. (it was kind of funny because Dana was like "me too!" and destiny was amber-level jerky and said something like "well, you worked in the kitchen and you just got a CPR certificate, I worked with the patients and got medical certificates")
Destiny is simple, but I think it's a preference, not an intellectual indicator. I think she just doesn't like deep discussion, likes to be silly and act like a teen, but I think she's otherwise capable, just, as I said before, profoundly average. For example, she probably doesn't enjoy reading anything other than graphic novels, but is probably capable of reading at a higher level than amber.
RE: the cursive, someone said this at the time, and based on google, it's true. For a while there, cursive books were like relaxation activities and there are tons of cursive "coloring" books, in the same way adult coloring books were popular or zentangle coloring books.
All that said, I can totally understand why people think she's exceptional or dumb. Act like a fool, people are going to think you're a fool. Plus, she was baked in a lot of the early videos in their relationship which gave her the goofy grin and dead-behind-the-eyes look, only exacerbating the the image that she was dumber than a box of rocks.
