7 ways to Practice Consent Out of the Bedroom (This one is wordy) https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/11/practice-consent-beyond-sex/
They also have a bunch of articles discussing how parent can teach kids consent; if you google "Everyday Feminism Kids Consent" it should pull up a good list.
What If We Treated All Consent Like Society Treats Sexual Consent? (This one might be useful if you have to get a neurotypical person to back off) https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/06/how-society-treats-consent/

I don't know if your household is a fan of Steven Universe, but some of the episodes touch on consent, and I think they do a pretty good job. They've also got decent representation of queer characters.

Where Women Have No Doctor is a healthcare manual for places where medical care is not availible. It is written for people who may not be literate or may be ESL speakers, so the language is simple and to the point. And it is illustrated with little cartoon people.
While it does mostly focus on girls/women some of the stuff should transfer. I'm particularly impressed by the birth control part, but some other sections may be useful. (I'd suggest skimming the table of contents and seeing what looks useful.)
Basic: (This does involve a sex talk but no actual sex onscreen.) https://dialecticdreamer.dreamwidth.org/643612.html https://dialecticdreamer.dreamwidth.org/644420.html
Somewhat more advanced. (I.e. consent/safety precautions relating to kink and regular sex. Again no actual sex onscreen.):
I'll add in two thoughts from myself; use ior discard as you will:
How I've explained play-vs-bullying / consent to kids*:
1 Anyonce can say no at any time 2 Make sure everyone has fun 3 Take reasonable safety precautions (i.e. wrestle on the grass not the asphalt)
*I am not a parent (I came up with this while volunteering), so YMMV.

And while I'm not sure if your kid is artsy, maybe there are art worksheets or art projects that could illustrate concepts?
I have had hand-drawn conversations with people - if you go this route a small pocket notebook may be useful.
And if you make custom small written/pictogram cards (which were suggested elsethread), you can laminate them with clear packing tape. (I find rounding the corners is sometimes helpful as well.)
Re: So many prompts
I've had scientific discussions with ten-year-olds, and doodled pictures to converse with adults, so, yeah, unusual reference pool on my end.
I suspect a drawing-conversation might work for your young person?
Anyway, I hope at least some of these links are useful for you-all, as resources or conversation prompts or whatever.
Right, here goes:
