"Trump's statements have prompted backlash from disability advocates. The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) called Trump's comments "both factually and morally incorrect."

"Learning disabilities, including dyslexia, affect how the brain processes information. They do not reflect a person's intelligence, judgment, or ability to lead," the organization said in a statement released Monday.

"Every day, people with learning disabilities serve their communities as teachers, entrepreneurs, scientists, members of the military, and public servants."

The condition is also common, affecting around 20% of the population."
