Will Dyslexia hold me back from flying high?

Hi Everyone

I have a real quick question regarding gaining a career as a professional pilot? Will being severely dyslexic affect my ability to learn to fly, gain sponsership, or employment? I have gained a good education, with results through GCSE's A*-D to BTEC ND, HND and BA in advertising and graphic design, so i guess i've got a back up plan. However i still hanker after the dream of flying for a living and i am planning to start my PPL later this year and take the GAPAN apptitude tests. Has anybody got any useful hints or comments on this matter or perhaps there is a fellow dyslexic already making the dream come true?

Cheers
