I don't think she is asbergers, I've worked with asbergers children in the past and she is not coming across to me that way. But it can be a very varied condition and asbergers can also be quite emotionally detached.

The spectrum is very large, it is a very mild form she has. Barely perceptible.

I added to my post that it is very varied yes. Do you know this as a diagnosis or is it a theory?

Without speaking directly with her under certain conditions it would only be a guess. Even then as it is so mild it would be very hard to diagnose, where does a person's personality start and a medical condition end?

Weirdly one of the children I once worked with was called Jack. He was incredibly bright, I liked him a lot inspite of a tendancy to be a little violent in anger.

Is this just your opinion or has she actually told people she has been diagnosed with that?

Opinion, with a little insight behind it. As she can function at a very high level, unless she went seeking a diagnosis it is not obvious enough.

I can't help feel it would have picked up by now. Her behaviour is strange and there is an odd emotional detachment about her that is quite creepy yet she seems to have a powerful hold over her gang in there.

I think she is just a horrible person. Hence the emotional detachment.
As for her gang. I think they are all aware of what kind of person she is but chose to stick with her in order not to be targeted & stay in longer.
It worked well.

I see what you mean but does her emotional detachment make her a horrible person. Or does her being a horrible person make her emotionally detached. I guess is it a cause or effect?

You will find throughout history that the most charismatic leaders often have "Sociopathic" characteristics.
