Sensory Issues

My grandson was three in January.. He has Hypothyroidism. He was on med since the week after he was born until he turned 3. Blood test show it is under control. We are concerned by some of his actions, and no one seems to know what to do. He is very smart. Mom is a teacher. Loves school, but will NOT sit for story time. He can be fine one minute, than totally loose it the next, for know apparent reason. He often says he can't do something because "his hand are to slippery." He will hurt other kids, and when we tell him not to do that, he says "but I want to hit them." Then he will tell them "sorry."

He is bothered by wind when outside, but would play in the rain. He hates having his picture taken. Went to Walt Disney World and was very good. Liked to look at the characters, but did not care to be touched by them. He does everything a 3 year old should be doing and more, but his behavior is just crazy. Something is making him feel this way, we just are totally clueless on what do do. Does this sound like a sensory issue, or just behavioral problem. No one wants to listen so us. HELP
