Hello. It sounds like a frustrating time. However this behavior does not sound consistent with a learning disability. Rather his behavior may be symptomatic of feeling angry and not knowing how to cope with his feelings. The family needs to learn the source of his anger (being nasty to his brother making a mess) and then develop coping skills and self soothing mechanisms so he can better control and manage his feelings. I would strongly encourage meeting with a child psychologist who can better evaluate his mood behavior and family dynamics.
