How can I teach my fourteen yearold son about touching himself in and out of the public eye?

My forteen yearold adjusts himself in public and here at home. How do I teach him appropriately? He is non verbal and low functioning on the autism spectrum. Open to any suggestions.

My son is 3 years old and we have the same problem. When ever he touches himself, we remove his hand and give him a sensory object instead.
