To add to what everyone else have said, build ability to think beyond
disabilities while you work in the area of accessibility. Try learn to
understand code and this can happen as you go. If understanding code is
difficult, you can still add value as a user testing and not all testing
requires you to know coding. Looks like you have a passion for
accessibility and that is important.
Best wishes,
