Autism or possession

Does anyone on here have any experience with autism that you don’t mind sharing on. I am not one who is quick to say someone is possessed, but could it be that many cases of autism is actually possession appreciate your feedback.

What about autism makes you think it could at least be possible that many cases of people who are autistic are actually possessed?

Autism used to be called childhood schizophrenia. Definitely spiritual in origin.

Remember when you deal with multiple situations with different people involved but all their symptoms are identical, then look towards the spiritual.

Symptoms include anger uncontrolled, seizures, etc. No physical causes, like a broken finger or etc, but one day the child begins to exhibit traits.

We deal very heavily with this particular oppression/ possession in our dealing with the Lds. The FLDS are even worse. In their clans it is overwhelming the numbers of kids diagnosed with autism.

As we work with them more and more we see patterns in their families going back generations. Perversion, witchcraft, drug dependence.

Autism is spiritual based. With non LDS, prayer for deliverance is a start. Talk with the parents, see where some open doors might be.

Re: Autism or possession

Teaching a Bible study right now to a family coming out of Mormonism. The man is probably a 6th generation lds, the woman is a convert from Catholicism to Mormonism.

Definitely 2 different approaches. The ex Catholic is making great progress, the man and daughter, both diagnosed with autism, more difficult. They have hit the wall because of their mind meds.... from autism diagnosis.

If I had to call autism anything I would call it a possible gateway spirit. It only paves the way for more dominant spiritual oppression like drug addiction and witchcraft.

Autism is spiritual.

His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Talents, Abilities, Spiritual Disciplines, and Spiritual Gifts God May Have Placed in People Who Live With Differences

People who have Autism may be detail-oriented, independent, able to hyperfocus on what takes their attention, and gifted in niche areas. They may be especially able to worship God and serve Him and others through:

Scripture Reading and Memorization (Psalm 119:111, Proverbs 6:21-22)
Practicing Silence (Psalm 62:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:11)
Practicing Solitude (Luke 5:16)
Musical Skills (Psalm 150:1-5)
Gifts of Serving, such as helping set up detailed displays, running tech for sound or lighting, etc. (John 13:13-17)

People who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be uninhibited, able to change topics quickly, able to see the big picture, and risk-takers. They may be especially able to worship God and serve Him and others through:

Leadership Skills (2 Timothy 2:15, Mark 10:42-45)
Gifts of Teaching (James 3:1, 2 Timothy 4:2-3)
Evangelism (Mark 16:15)

People who have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may be able to hold a thought in their minds for a long time, truth-seekers, and deeply burdened to alleviate suffering. They may be especially able to worship God and serve Him and others through:

Prayer and Intercession (Ephesians 6:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Gifts of Prophecy (1 Corinthians 14:1-3)
Gifts of Teaching (James 3:1, 2 Timothy 4:2-3)
Showing Mercy and Compassion (Psalm 86:15, Psalm 145:8-9, Luke 6:36)

Autism is spiritual.
Is down syndrome also spiritual?
