I do not know how things are in the country the job is or the country you're located. I'm in the US and there are laws that in theory protect the disabled from disability discrimination. I'm 35 and have not had luck making this work as someone too poor for a lawyer and when it's hard to prove when managers have slighted me for my stuttering.  Many corporations have a department or a person in HR that handles Disability Accomodations and at least where I am the law is made so like.... If for some reason you were blind and needed help filling out the application these people would legally have to help you.  When I wrote to one company they offered me a lot of help applying and even recommended things to apply to and their tone was very positive and encouraging the position just didn't pay at the time. The job that payed well ended up being less understanding!! I am realizing at my age I should have gotten a lawyer at 20years old because I've wasted more than 10 years being misunderstood by almost every job.  Good luck, you sound like you have conquered a lot of challenges to get where you are so I'm confident you will find a way. I couldn't even imagine having the confidence to apply to jobs abroad that's so many steps!! so even if this is simply a necessity for you it's pretty impressive!!
