An anecdote: I stutter. A while back I watched some clips from a Doctor Who episode that had a character who stuttered. His presentation pissed me off (various types of disability fail) so I went Googling to see if anyone else out there had had the same issues with that ep.
What did I find? People talking about how unrealistic it was to have a character who stuttered because that ep was set in the future and surely they'd have cured that by then!
I really cannot express just how fucking horrible<\em> that made me feel.
