I agree with the feedback you have gotten, but that does not mean that the environment around your son is the same as it was. Of course things are different, and your son is likely responding to the chnages around him. Now, it is not unusual as a phase of development for children of this age to exhbit some separation anxity in any cae, so you may be witnessing some of that. All you can do is maintain a stable routine and stable life for your son and he will respond to that.
