My Son, David Is 21. He's Autistic, High Functioning. He

My son, David is 21. He's autistic, high functioning. He spends most of his days, since dropping out of JC, online playing games and "hanging out" online with a group of "friends" 6 months ago one of these friends came to our house and we were shocked to learn that she is 43 years old, has a 14 year old son and has come all the way across the country to escape a 10 year abusive relationship. Our son continues to skype with her at all hours of the day, including staying up very late or all night visiting with this woman. Last night she came to pick him up at our house, despite our trying to help him understand the inappropriate nature of this relationship. The evening was supposed to be "hanging out playing video games" at a local hotel. I don't know how to have the conversation with my son to explain to him that this woman is not the best friend for him. He doesn't have friends, doesn't work and seems very connected to this woman who he has had an online correspondence for nearly 2 years.
