To the op if your son who would now I assume be about 12 is still confused about how to behave in regards to sexual issues check this link to the nas pages on how to approach sex education this will give you the best information and ways of working with him.

Also try the helpline or parent to parent service.
Since autistic children (and nt children) mimic behaviour they have seen he may not understand that it is inappropriate. I see alot of children imitate moves seen in music videos that could really be interpreted as sexual but that is not their intent or full understanding.
