There's a threat about it in the autism part of christian forums. Most autists say it isn't, there was one woman who said it was, they got angry at her, but it turned out she was delivered from it herself.
There are many things out there that qualify as exactly what they seem as the demonic is very few and far between.
You might just see something once per lifetime, as for the rest of us they might as well not be there.
What is your view of autism as it pertains to demonic power? Do you believe autism is mainly caused by demonic oppression? I have heard many teachers say that most disease is, but anyone here have any experience on this?
I think that demons play a role in most sickness and most of the setbacks which we experience. I also think that the Devil works in an organized way and uses strongholds to accomplish most of his strategies rather than running himself ragged trying to micro manage everything. For example , it is much easier to set up a stronghold like the theory of evolution, sexism , communism , etc. , than it is to send out a hundred million demons to mess with people's thinking. I think the way that it works is things are set in motion using strongholds of thinking and natural processes Then the demons just have to push it along to keep it steered in the right direction.
It is ironic that one such stronghold is the lie that demonic influence is rare and also the idea that people should be offended at the idea that a demon is involved in their problem. When people accept those type of strongholds in their thinking then the demons workload is much much less.
The assumption that demonic activity is prevalent is enough to keep deliverance ministry busy for years to come, but beyond that there is not much in the way of proof.
I agree with you on this and I hope I conveyed myself clearly when I asked my original question on how is demonic activity involved in this. Reason I ask is my wife and I have tried praying over her before and she goes berserk when we do. So one day I was watching over her right after she bed down for the night and I just simply said in the name of Jesus come out of her, and she started rolling around in her sleep which is odd as she is normally a pretty solid sleeper. So I'm sure it is something demonic involved. My wife has said she's had dreams of my daughter talking with an angel and the angel in the dream is strengthening my daughter and letting her know that God is aware of her situation and He loves her. Very heartbreaking to hear her talk about it. She can not talk, which is the form her autism has taken I suppose. I don't know much about the specifics of autism and the wide spectrum that science says covers it, but I do know it can affect most motor functions. I know of people who are blind because of autism and the likes.
Mat 17:14 And when they came to the multitude, a man approached him, and bowed himself on his knees,
Mat 17:15 and said to him: My Lord, compassionate me. I have a son who is a lunatic, and grievously afflicted; for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.
Mat 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
Mat 17:17 Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? and how long bear with you? Bring him here to me.
Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it departed from him: and from that hour the child was healed.
Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus, apart, and said to him: Why could not we heal him?
Mat 17:20 Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, That if there be in you faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye may say to this mountain, Remove hence, and it will remove: and nothing will be too hard for you.
Mat 17:21 But this kind goeth not out, except by fasting and prayer.
Mar 9:14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude with them, and the Scribes disputing with them.
Mar 9:15 And immediately the multitude saw him, and were surprised: and they ran and saluted him.
Mar 9:16 And he asked the Scribes: What were ye disputing with them?
Mar 9:17 And one of the multitude replied, and said: Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a spirit that will not speak.
Mar 9:18 And wherever he seizeth him, he shaketh and teareth him: and he gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples, to cast him out; and they could not.
Mar 9:19 Jesus answered, and said to them: O incredulous generation! How long shall I be with you? how long bear with you? Bring him to me.
Mar 9:20 And they brought him to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately he shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and wallowed and foamed.
Mar 9:21 And Jesus asked his father, how long a time he had been thus. He said to him: Lo, from his childhood.
Mar 9:22 And many times it hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me.
Mar 9:23 Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe; every thing can be, to him that believeth.
Mar 9:24 And immediately the father of the child cried out, while he wept and said: I believe; aid thou the defect of my faith.
Mar 9:25 And when Jesus saw that the people were, running and collecting around him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him: Thou deaf and unspeaking spirit, I command thee, come out of him; and no more enter him.
Mar 9:26 And the demon cried out greatly, and bruised him, and came out. And he was as a dead person; so that many would say, he is dead.
Mar 9:27 And Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up.
Mar 9:28 And when Jesus entered the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast him out?
Mar 9:29 He saith to them: This kind can come out, by nothing but fasting and prayer.
It's also something with connections in the brain. My husband is autistic and he's also dyslectic. I know of a healed dyslectic girl in TACF who saw angels connecting things in her brain. But sicknesses can be a curse, like cancer, when it's a family curse and autism is in the family most of the time.
This discussion shows how we, as the Body of Christ, are generally lacking in the genuine gift of discerning of spirits. If this gift was in stronger operation, we wouldn't have to guess, we'd know and we'd have far greater results ministering to it whether through deliverance or healing. From Scripture, we know any illness can be demonic, physical, or psychological. What we don't know from Scripture is frequency. I've wondered about Autism as well, often, as I have 2 nephews with a variant of it.
I'll keep them in my prayers. Other than my 3 yr old daughter who has Autism and ADHD, I have a 4 yr old son who is autistic as well.
