Is it possible to be dyslexic in Chinese?

Dear Cecil:
Is it possible to be dyslexic in Chinese? Surely someone with dyslexia wouldn't be likely to misconstrue a word's meaning if that word were represented as a distinctive symbol as in Chinese, right? I mean, if you were to show a dyslexic a picture of a house, that person would still easily recognize it, even though he might have trouble deciphering the written word. Or am I totally in the dark about dyslexia?
