To speak to teacher ?

Hi, name changed for this.

So my ds had 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.

I want to speak to the the teacher but 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 ? Any advice would be appreciated

Not over reacting at all, absolutely bring it up with the teacher. The other boy may just need a calm word about boundaries. At least if the teacher is aware, she can support drawing these boundaries.
