We have noticed a lot of 'flapping' behavior. He walks on his
toes, and is very sensitive to loud noises (beyond what is
appropriate for young children). He hums to himself as well, and
will only interact with the other children when he has to. He
often spaces out and getting him to pay attention again requires
someone to actually turn his head away from what he is 'staring'
at. I am somewhat concerned that he may either be autistic or
have some sensory integration issues, but as I said in terms of
academics he knows all letters/sounds/counting/etc...he meets or
exceeds the PreK standards where I work. Thus I'm not sure how to
approach my administrator with these concerns.

I hope these details help, as I could really use some advice and
conferences are coming up!
