Sounds exactly like DS7 when he is under stress (eg when the other people/environment are a bad fit). Having lost his friends and having a hard time finding new ones sound like stress to me. It appears to be one of those catch 22 situations when you have a hard time teasing apart what's what because the environment is a constant, even though you really need to observe him what he's like when it's a fit.
However, if all this wasn't so much of a problem when his friends were still there that's your answer at least for the social difficulties.
The school isn't pushing medication, right? That would sound very inappropriate. How about a round of OT for the sensory stuff and some mild CBT for the anxiety as first resorts and see how it goes?
