Attachment

Whilst I can offer no suggestions, I feel for you (and your neighbour). I'm thinking aloud here, but as your neighbour is off limits, do you think this may be fuelling your son's obsession with her? A case of trying to win her affections and not wanting to accept that your neighbour will never be more than a friendly neighbour?

We have had a few incidents like this but the person he becomes attached to has always been someone who he doesn't see everyday such as a Facebook friend who will then block him so he can't continue. But now it's someone who he knows he will see everyday. He says he's aware they can never be anything else but friends. But the obsession is starting to worry me and her as she now avoids leaving the house if he's in the garden. 

I can understand your concern. As an autistic person, I'm aware of how easy it can be to form attachments to people, but I'm also aware of what it can be like to be on the receiving end. I honestly don't know what to suggest.
