What an interesting balance of traits! I'd think being aware of a speech disorder would cause him to be more aware of what he's going to say before he actually says it, which complements his fast mind well. It's also rare that characters with disabilities are done well.

At the same time, I think making your character excel at certain things is perfectly fine (after all, in the real world, some people are just great at some things) so long as they have an equally standout flaw, but on the "normal-guy-who-becomes-badass-when-under-pressure" cliche... yeah, I feel you.
