Workplace meritocracy and “work ethic” are concepts that make success as a disabled person all but impossible

Between my vision problem and my adhd I'm so tired of being treated like a child. I'm 32 and stuck at a labor farm for the disabled, because nowhere else that I can get to will take me. The bosses are all sighted, taking our effort and cashing it in with the government as a “non profit.” How is someone like me supposed to “earn a living” if my disabilities mean I can never accomplish what my sighted coworkers can? How am I supposed to have gainful employment if my 100% effort is always half as good as someone else's? I'm just so tired.
