A neuroligist would be your best bet for a correct diagnosis for you & your son.
I still have problems getting distracted when I have sound & I am trying to read....it all mixes together. I got my BS in Accounting & computer science (in 1978)....I also had to work harder & had to study in a quiet environment.
My dad used to do that blowing out his nose. It drove me insane too. He also had a stomach tick & he continually rubbed his fingers together. He died in 1989....I was in my late 30's. .I can still hear that sound in my head if I think about it.
My dad was 70 in 1989 so obviously his life was long before diagnosing those things.....but reading about those things when I was researching what I had dealt with for 33 years in my own marriage before I left indicated that it was definitely my dad was on the autistic spectrum & also possibly had some form of tourette's. Had indications that the husband I left was probably on the autistic spectrum too though he did get his BS in computer science where my dad might have had other learning disabiluties because he barely graduated high school.
Who knows....maybe my sensitivity to sound is an inherited piece of the autistic spectrum since it is a spectrum condition. My dad didn't seem OCD or ADD while my ex-husband was actually diagnosed with adult ADD.....then never took that farther in 2003 to check out ASD (then known as Asperhers....high functioning autism)
You can only really know these things by getting a formal professional diagnosis....everything else is guessing.
