Hmmm...I think whether or not you're going to try public K next year may influence hour decision. If so, he will need to be able to participate in circle time and (at least from our experience thus far) engage in "busy work" that is very basic at times during class.
Maybe this class, with it's high staff yo child ratio will be an easier place to transition to some of these skills. I think you may be seeing boredom, but the leaving/wandering could also be the PDD. He may not be motivated by the same "need to please" that keeps a restless/disengaged kid in their seat.
My thought is to formulate a clear plan for prevention/intervention. Maybe you could offer some level-appropriate worksheets /books for working time. Also, I think it would be fair to let ds wander the class (within reason, maybe provide an alternative activity) I itisllyfuring circle time. This may be the goal for the whole year: ds tolerating and even participating circle time.
Not sure if any of this helps or not....We did preschool for social reasons (though they actually did a lot of neat science stuff). My ds doesn't have pdd or ASD...but is definitely needed (needs) help with social maturity) .
