Even if he his displaying some overly impulsive or disruptive behavior, he should have a teacher who can manage and deal with it appropriately. If he has a teacher who wants a class full of children quietly coloring or doing art projects, I can see why she's overwhelmed. Before jumping the gun on diagnosing your son, I would first see if he could get another teacher, or another school if necessary. Especially if you said there were no problems or complaints four months ago with a previous teacher.
My inclination would be to change him to a school that has a playground and goes outside almost every day. Also, in a new school, he would be unlikely to be in a class that was less balanced as to the genders of the students. While it does sometimes happen that you can a class with a lot of boys or a lot of girls, most schools try to get close to an even balance.
