Is a job in academia possible for someone who is disabled?

I am a disabled veteran going into Biological Anthropology, and I plan to be involved in academia for a while. I have heard people talking about how much pressure grad students and untenured professors are under to perform. My main concern is that my disabilities (which are mostly invisible but severely impact my daily life) will be viewed as a lack of effort and I will not be able to succeed. My question is, if you're disabled and work in academia, how did you find and keep a job that doesn't run you into the ground? Is that even possible?
