My initial reaction to your post is that you have a "social" and PG child. Would you slot him in the extrovert category? Anyway it looks like to me that he really needs children "like him" to interact with, more than the more typically introverted PGlets. Will they let him just try out a higher level class - 1st or 2nd grade? Do you think you could ask the school if the next level up class might have more children "like" your son? Would 2nd grade? In our very small school system, there are always "pockets" of high achieving children. Kids who are really bright "skip into" those grades, bright kids who are already in those grades don't leave because they have good peers. It kind of builds on itself.
I agree with lucounu about reading on the behavioral and emotional issues. The school needs to understand. And the DYS consultant can help you sort out what you're really after for your son.
edit: cross post. I guess you haven't found that your DYS consultant has been able to help in this case so far.
