Autistic son obsessed with anime character Sakura haruno

So recently my eldest son has been interested in anime including naruto and my hero academia. He had recently become obsessed with the naruto character Sakura Haruno. He's been watching videos and cosplays of her online, searching things up about her and keeps talking about her to me. He now also wants to cosplay as her. 

Does anybody know how to tell him to calm down about his obsession without offending him.

  • These obsessions tend to get traded in after a while for new obsessions. 

    Special interests is kind of inherent to autism, it can sometimes make or break the succes in a job. If you have most social traits against you, but you excel in knowledge and work-ethics, you might keep a job. 

    Does it worry you that as a  boy he wants to dress up like a girl? 

  • Thanks and not really it makes him happy then I allow him to dress up as the  character she isn't very feminine.
