there's an episode of Shameless (uk version) where Steve ( a brother to a side character) appears and has a sever case of Touretts syndrome. He also stutters a lot, which the other characters make fun of or laugh at. After watching that scene, i couldnt continue watching the show and i felt a bit disappointed with how they portrayed the condition so badly. i get that this was made a few years back, but they still could've taken a better approach to portray a condition that is already stigmatized
