Your learning disability might be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under that act, employers with 15 or more employees must provide you with a reasonable accommodation which does not create an undue hardship for the employer.

However, no employer can presume or assume that someone has a disability. Did you inform them of your disability and ask for some type of accommodation? Such as more time to perform your job? How would the employer know that you have a disability if you possibly did not tell them? Consult with employment lawyers.
