No -- the story is utterly false.
It's difficult to know where this canard got started. Einstein did exceptionally well in mathematics from his earliest days in school. Although he rebelled against the rote learning common in German schools of the time, he always got superb grades.
The only academic failure that young Einstein experienced was when he applied for Zurich Polytechnic School at age 15 -- a year younger than was typical for applicants -- and failed the French part of the test. This should be no surprise, as he had studied French for only half a year prior to taking the exam. In addition, his marks in science and math were so impressive that he was allowed to study there even before he was formally admitted.
I was under the impression that his problem was that he was dyslexic
No evidence exists that Einstein, who was extremely capable of reading, writing, and communicating in his native German, had any form of dyslexia. Another canard that, for reasons unknown, continues.

Who was bad in math when a little kid?
Almost everybody. I mean, I'm pretty sure the answer is supposed to be "Albert Einstein" or someone like that, but really, who cares? What math means when you're a "little kid" is basic arithmetic, which has very little to do with what "math" means at a college level.
