What disease does Steven Hawking suffer from? He has a muscular dystrophy cognate to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the latter being also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Edit

In 2005, he appeared in the season 16 episode Don't Fear the Roofer; in 2007, he starred in the season 18 episode Stop or My Dog Will Shoot; and in 2010, he appeared in the Season 22 premiere Elementary School Musical.
