I couldnt find anything on it. The most I found was a good read at Disabilities
And this one.
LDS Disability Resources FAQ: Doctrines and Policies
"Q: Are there any gospel teachings about disabilities?
A: During His mortal ministry, the Savior and His disciples passed by a blind man. The disciples asked, “Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him” (John 9:1–3).
President Boyd K. Packer noted: “There is little room for feelings of guilt in connection with handicaps. Some handicaps may result from carelessness or abuse, and some through addiction of parents. But most of them do not. Afflictions come to the innocent” (“The Moving of the Water,” Ensign, May 1991, 8)."
It seems to be a good thought, but not gospel.

It appears that those who pass through mortality without having become accountable retain the status of innocence spoken of by Mormon: “For behold that all little children are alive in Christ, and also all they that are without the law. For the power of redemption cometh on all them that have no law; wherefore, he that is not condemned, or he that is under no condemnation, cannot repent; and unto such baptism availeth nothing.” (Moro. 8:22.)

A favorite saying of some singles I know is that their spouse was killed in the war in heaven.

Which means their spouse is a son of perdition (or daughter of perdition, whichever).
