I agree with others but it seems like most probably has suicidal ideation but at the moment can’t bring himself to go through with it. You really can’t be expected to deal with something like this on your own and it’s not in your son’s best interest that you try to do so. I strongly encourage you to try and get child mental health services involved. I think if his friends are also from his school it might be worth getting the school involved.
his friends may be aware that he is autistic but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they understand how the autism affects his obsessive tendencies. having authority figures at the School provide clear guidance that any alleged ‘creepy’ behaviour is more likely to be a consequence of autism than any actual malice might help with the situation.
also at this point are you able to rule out the possibility that the situation at school has gone beyond simply falling out with friends and moved on to people actively bullying him?
