Answer 1

You don't say which part of the country you are in, but there is a group called Chicken Shed Theatre which takes all people with all kinds of disability.  It might be a good place to get started as they run all kinds of workshops. I have posted a link.  It looks as if they have workshops in different parts of the country.

Answer 2

Your hearing aids are not problem, there are invisible ones, I do not know that your learning problems will be a difficulty in acting, but you do not have the necessary experience and training to get an agent and be an actor. YOu need to be in lots more plays and go to professional acting school.
