To speak to the teacher about this

[yourthoughtsplz]

Hi, name changed for this. I've posted on parenting too but think I'll get more replies here (hopefully)

So my ds has just turned 6 and is in year 1 mixed year group with year 2 since September due to covid.
He has asd and has always struggled to make friends due to this, he wants to be friends with the other children but struggles socially so usually ends up playing alone which breaks my heart to be honest. I was happy to hear that the last couple of weeks he's been playing with another little boy who's in year 2. My ds told me last week that this little boy keeps saying to him "give me a smooch" and was trying to kiss his arms and cuddle him and was calling him mommy.
My ds thought it was funny but I told him to ask him to stop trying to kiss you as nobody should touch anybody without their permission. This seemed to have stopped as my ds asked him to and apparently he did. My ds has been repeating this phrase at home to me so I know where it's coming from.
Today he's told me that this boy has again said "give me a smooch" and tried to kiss him on the lips.
So aibu to want to speak to the teacher and see what's going on or am I overreacting? I know they are only little but I don't want my ds to think this is okay to go around and try and kiss the other kids himself or something, he is so happy to have a friend but he also just wants to be liked. Any advice would be appreciated

I don't see any harm in flagging it with a teacher. In my experience kids can be bloody wierd and there's not necessarily anything sinister going on and this other boy may mean no harm but it's still important for kids to learn boundaries. If one of my DC was doing something like this I'd want to know so I could reinforce how important it is to respect other people's boundaries and let them know what is and isn't socially acceptable.

There's probably nothing sinister but you should have a word with the teacher and get him to stop doing it as your son doesn't like it (and it's particularly unwanted at the moment). 'Smooch' might sound a bit odd but I've known parents say 'Give us a snog' when saying goodbye to their children. A bit inappropriate, to my mind, but quite innocent and they just mean a normal mother/child kiss.

Yes I'm sure it's just innocent they're only kids and yes kids can be strange lol but I'm more concerned about my ds thinking it's okay to do to others, it's boundaries isn't it. I just didn't want to seem like I'm being ott bringing it up
More than likely it's something this kids mom says to him and he's just copying
