Not sure what to think

Im new here, and I have a question about my son. I dont know that he truly has special needs but I wanted to put this out there and see if anyone has had similar situations.
This is our first year of homeschooling. My ds is in kindergarten and one of the very few things we do for homeschooling right now is reading stories. He has never liked this, he doesnt like to sit still long enough to have stories read to him.
Well I noticed the other day that he doesnt "get" anything that I read to him. If Im reading a picture book he only gets out of the book what he sees in the pictures. I dont think he even hears anything that I say while Im reading it.
Today I was reading a chapter book to him (few pictures) and I stopped after one sentance, and asked him if he understood the sentance and he had no clue. I even read it a couple more times and he still didnt get it.
He also does some things like this in every day life. Like if he is doing something hes not supposed to and I try and explain to him why thats not ok, he responds with somthing that makes no sense with what Im talking about. Its like he hears ONE word of what I say and makes up something totally off the wall.
Does this sound like anything anyone else has experienced?
