So, nearly 14 dd, autistic, high functioning, very clever and always been older than her years. Her bf, 14, autistic, high functioning. Been going out for 5 months. She text me today asking if I could buy her condoms. What do I say to her? I mean, do I inform his mother that’s they are thinking about having sex? Why can’t they just go off and doo it in a park without me knowing, like I did when I was 15! 🙈
I’m so pleased she is open and feels she can talk to me but I don’t want to condone it either. I definitely don’t want her thinking she can do it under our roof, or is it wrong to think that? As I don’t particularly think any her off up the local park bushes either.

No, no, hell no with bells on!

My DD is the same age as yours and is also HF ASD.

One the one hand, it is commendable that she’s came to you. Praise her and thank her for that. But you can’t possibly condone this. She is not ready mentally for this or the repercussions. She’s a child!

Good advice from @MrsJaxTellerPlease:

Why don't you watch the series let's talk about sex on channel four with her. Really opens up conversations so they are a conversation rather than you lecturing.
