Nah, I don't figure Asperger's because she has too many social skills and doesn't seem obsessed by certain topics. I've worked with a variety of students with this condition, and (although every person is different) Bree doesn't seem as socially awkward and as non-empathetic as the "typical" person with Asperger's. (By non-empathetic, I don't mean that those with Asperger's are mean; they just sometimes have a hard time seeing things from other people's points-of-view.)

Interesting idea, though.

I sort of agree with the theory that she has some kind of 'mental disorder', I mean it's kind of weird to have conversations with your stuffed animals when your 16+ years old.

I also am leaning towards the split-personality disorder thing, how she created Cassie as a way to cope with her rejection from her classmates.

Whatever the case, I agree she's a bit odd in the head. And she's smart too, genius comes hand-in-hand with madness...

Whatever her state of mind is now, I wonder if the Creators will have her go through some sort of post-traumatic illness... if it was real life she certainly would.

I wondered about this myself a bit before I read this thread. There are a few options I'm considering.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: I don't think she had a normal childhood. The ceremony itself and their consequent time on the run would have been enough to send a sane person into some sort of state in which he or she could talk to a stuffed monkey, but seeing as this behavior preceded the plot we've been privy too (P. Monkey's been a fixture since the beginning) but something must have happened to Bree prior to the videos if this is the explanation.

Autism: I think this is a definite possibility. Bree appears to be incredibly intelligent, but is somewhat lacking in social skills and emotional maturity. Her reluctance to have a relationship with Daniel might also come into play here.

If she has a mental disorder, would she still be seen as fit for the ceremony? I don't think they would still want to use her, but that is just my opinon. Nothing wrong with mental disorders, not saying the people who have them aren't normal..but I think the order would want someone more stable and pure bre(e)d.

mental disorders do not have to be a disadvantage. I couldn't imagine my life without my mental disorder....it helps me in a lot of ways.

I think it's very simple.
Bree is a very intelligent girl, but she's a product of her environment.
