Joe Swanson (a reoccurring character who is crippled) is voiced by Patrick Warburton, however since it's not live action, I'm not sure if it counts.

There is constant jokes about se*ual as*ult and r*pe in the show. Especially with the character Quagmire who consistently jokes about drugging and r*ping women, amd sleeping with underage girls. The show mostly jokes about women being the victim, but there is also plenty of jokes and disturbing plots about men being the victims as well. There is an episode where Quagmire attempts to groom Meg for sex once she turned 18. There is an episode where Quagmire is arrested for statutory r*PE (although the girl slept with him "consensualy"), there is an episode where after a prostate exam Peter feels violated and reports to doctor for se*ual as*ult. There is an episode where Peter is sexually harrased by his boss Angela. There is an episode where Quagmire gets in a se*ually above relationship and it kidnapped and r*ped by his girlfriend. Consistently throughout the show Chris is targeted by their neighbor Herbert (an elderly man who is a pe*ophile.) There is a whole very disturbing episode when Meg is kidnapped and forced into s*x trafficking, Brian and Stewie save her at the end.

Yes. It is a running gag in the show that there is an old man in the neighborhood that is a pedophile. He is always chasing after boys (slowly because he has a walker), inviting boys over to his house, asking kids, to sit on his lap, etc. He is depicted as genuinely being a pedophile and for some reason it's supposed to be funny.

There's an episode where Peter and Lois believe "vaccines cause autism", but they are disproven by the end. In one episode, Peter "tests" whether his son Chris has autism by slamming cymbals behind his head. Much as I personally love this show, as someone with autism, I say Seth MacFarlane doesn't seem to know much about it. In a show like this, you can expect anything, and from time to time they will reference autism in a possibly disparaging way, so be careful of that.

SPOILERS included
Stewie develops multiple personalities after (the trauma of) walking in on his parents having sex. It's implied that the fact that he hasn't napped in days also caused it. Every time Stewie shakes his head another personality starts speaking. Brian convinces Stewie that his parents were just checking the thread count of the sheets, and within a couple of mins the other personalities are gone.
