It is pubic knowledge of the ash's coma theory; but could ash be autistic. Autistic theorist posture that ash--like satoshi tajiri the creator of pokemon and ash's namesake. Could this be why ash is displayed as a child forever. Is this also why ash is asexual and why the female protagonist pulls brock away and in one season a child. Could this be his basterd son what of all those children claming--as the story does--his "brothers and sisters". Circling back could these women be his wives or girlfriends; could ash be one of his children as some autistic lecturous bastard son contend. To this extent is brock's dad the true depiction of brock.
