My son did that in pre-k as well. He was in special ed speech therapy. the concern was he would withdraw with too much noise and distracted easily with anything from a door creaking to an air conditioning. everything as far as auditory seems to bother him. When he was younger at birthday parties he would even cover his ears when everyone sang. He get unnerved by vacuums as well. Anyways we had him diagnosed and he did indeed have sensory processing disorder, although they called it something else. I also have a good friend who has her Masters in Speech and has explained his sensory issues since he was one. As baby he was easily overstimulated and still is at 5 years old. He also had other diagnoses. We just enrolled him in an awesome school which focuses a lot on sensory processing. Oh and he was tested for ADD/ADHD but he doesn't have the impulsive traits. Just major distracted by noise or visual. It would be awesome if you could find a OT or some other specialist who could help. This will be his first year at this school and I know he will thrive unlike pre-K because of teachers lack of understand even though I repeated his problem numerous times. With this problem the kiddos really need individualized teaching or small groups with the least amount of distraction, plus therapy to cope with sensory issues. Best of luck!
