A neurological condition which is genetically inhereted, it is considered fatal, but can be treated for the long term. Those diagnosed in time can be treated via daily medication, exercise, neuro-therapy, and in the worst case scenario surgical intervention can be attempted bilaterally in the brain. Most persons with Theoron's Disease are able to live a relatively full life with common sense restrictions in activities, though life expectancy is halved from what might be considered the norm. Ashley is currently still in the Early Stage of the disorder due to regular treatment, and is able in most circumstances to hide the most visible symptom, the tremor. He typically walks with his hands clasped behind him to keep them from view and hold them steady. His life expectancy being a Terran-Denobulan hybrid is an open question, and if treatment were ended the disorder would progress to Late State within | A neurological condition which is genetically inhereted, it is considered fatal, but can be treated for the long term.

* Early symptoms include a voluntary motion tremor (not while at rest), typically worse in the non-dominant side. Holding delicate objects or firing a weapon accurately can be difficult (though not impossible), and general clumbsiness is to be expected. Ashley has been medically exempted from basic weapons training for safety reasons. | * Early symptoms include a voluntary motion tremor (not while at rest), typically worse in the non-dominant side.
