Dear Lord,
We know that there are times when ______ feels great sorrow and confusion over what he/she is dealing with in his/her life. Autism can often cause isolation and pain for those who are locked within it. But you, Lord, are able to touch hearts and lives in miraculous ways that we cannot begin to understand. Thank you that you desire to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and bring release from darkness for prisoners. When he/she feels these things, we ask that you would bring your deep sense of comfort and healing to his/her heart, and that he/she would know that they have been touched by you and your love. Help us also to have creative and effective ways to reach him/her in all he/she deals with. We thank you for your faithfulness to us in every circumstance of life.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Dear Father,
We thank you that your Word promises us authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy. We ask that the authority you have given us as the Body of Christ would truly make a difference on Earth. Therefore, we believe that this Scripture is true. We take up the authority you have given us and declare that the tide of autism will be turned! We declare that you will bring healing to _______ and to our family, and that you would use us as instruments to bring healing to others who have been so deeply affected by autism. We also thank you that we can trust you to protect us, and that you give us what we need to prevail in every circumstance. Although it is sometimes a long, difficult process, we are grateful knowing that your mercy and power will bring us to a place of victory and peace. 
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Dear Lord,
So much of our time and effort seems to go to ______ because of his/her many deep needs. But we are very mindful that our other children also have many deep needs. Our family's circumstances can often present them with special and difficult situations as well. They may feel that what they are needing seems to go unacknowledged or unmet. We often feel stretched and unable to do all that needs to be done for each child in our home. Help us to have great wisdom in knowing how to balance our focus and attention among our children to the best of our ability. We thank you, Lord, that we are not alone in ministering to our children, and that you care very deeply for each one. When we are unable to meet all of their needs, we pray that you would move deeply within them to bring comfort and peace to their hearts. Even in their youth we ask that you would give them great wisdom and ability to deal with their challenges in ways that will be productive. We ask that you would also give them an extra measure of hope for their futures and faith in you to provide all they need.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
