5yr old bad behavior in kindergarten due to boredom??

I have a 5yr old who is having difficulty in school. He has difficulty following directions, listening, and sitting still in group activities. He is very animated and explodes when other children "bother" him. I've been told by a dr. that he does not have ADD. He is much more advanced than other 5yr olds in his class. He is already reading and says he's bored at school. He is extremely impulsive - acts first, thinks second. Consequences do not seem to bother him in any way. He's getting in a lot of trouble at school and the principal has even mentioned "suspension"! Suspending a Kindergartener?? How can that have a positive result? I'm so tormented about his behavior and just don't know what to do? Does he have a chemical imbalance? Also, he's been writing letters and reading backwards - has anyone heard of dyslexia resulting in bad behavior? I understand it isn't really diagnosed until 1st or 2nd grade, same with ADD. I just want to get inside his head and see what he's thinking and why he does the things that he does!
