Hi NAS49902,
It sounds like you might be interested in visiting our 'Sex education and puberty' page which can be found here - https://www.autism.org.uk/about/communication/sex-education.aspx - and has advice on talking to your child about physical changes, appropriate behaviour, relationships, and other matters relating to puberty. If you're interested in a book on the subject there is a list of books the NAS recommends at the bottom of the page.
Best wishes,
