Or, "Look at how special I am; if I'm not successful it must be because I'm being held back."

Imagine how offensive your comment would sound if we were discussing the relatively small percentage of people who experience dyslexia.

I'm afraid I don't understand your comment. Is dyslexia directly correlated with measures of success?

Dyslexia is a good use of IQ testing; either you do worse than expected (because of the difficulty reading) or better (compared to your grades) and in either case further investigation could lead to a diagnosis and useful help.
