Extreme focus with younger boys!!

[Guest guest]

Help!! I really need help with my son's extreme focus with younger boys. My son is 17 yrs. old just dx with AS about 1 1/2 months ago. He has this extreme focus on this one 14 yr. old boy and they just talk and text a lot. My son has had some obsessive relationship with another kid last year also about 4 yrs. younger than my son and we just had to end it as we see it heading towards extreme obsession. My son has pretty much rejected his own peer group and just refuses to associate with them except for school stuff. Especially now that he's confronted with this dx, he's now using this as an excuse why all the more he does not want to be with peers at all. He has been nagging us the past 2 days about sleeping over at this 14 yr. old boys house together with my younger son (13yrs). It just does not seem normal at 17

to still want to do sleep over. Help!! we are still new to this group. Is there anyone out there at all dealing with this kind of issue?? Thank you in advance for your help.
