I think they would be rather difficult to include. How would you animate it? What do you include? @Cinebar is right. It would be fine if the pumped up Get to Work with some added fictitious illnesses and such, but I wouldn't add things like down syndrome, etc. The game is supposed to be a spoof on reality. Not reality itself.
In that case, where are my drums. where are my monotremes? where are my aussie style schools and universities, and timtams, and lamingtons, and lamb for the bbq, and lamb for the back yard, and pumpkins for roasting and soupmaking (but never carving nor pies, lamb is for pies). Where's the pies with dead 'orse? where's the sausage rolls? where's the pavlova? Where's the sandman?
My realism may not be anything at all like your realism.
My disability is not like many others. Mine is invisible. How would you include that?
I want silliness in the game when it comes to illness and disease. I want the occasional broken bone, when a sim child falls from a bunkbed or playground. I want illnesses that require your sim to go to hospital for a day or two. I want a lighter side of life, not the misery and depression that most often come with real world disabilities.
You can have some realism, without being bogged down in depressingly serious reality, and the best way to do it is with illnesses and injury, but not life long disabilities.
