The thousand years of peace after the Messiah comes will be a time to fulfill all righteousness. Accountability has a lot to do with opportunity and circumstance, some of which can't possibly happen here. The handicapped will have all opportunity and circumstance in a perfect frame sometime and beyond. God is love, and this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God, that's all. http://scriptures.lds.org/alma/34/32#32
