If God Is Not the One Who Creates Diseases, Does This Mean That People Born with Autism or Are Disabled Are Condemned?

The idea that you ended up with, which is that babies born with disabilities or Autism are condemned, is a Jewish idea not Christian. Jesus Himself demolished this idea in the Gospel of John, chapter nine, verses two and three, when the disciples asked Him about the man born blind “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.”  If illness and disability were the Heavenly Father’s will, Christ the Son of God couldn’t have violated the Father’s will and healed diseases. But the birth of a disabled and sick child has other natural causes that come through the parents, such as heredity, addiction, smoking, pollution, abuse of prohibited drugs during pregnancy, abuse of the body, satanic acts, and magic.

God is the God of love and every goodness. There are God’s ministers today who have the gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as the gift of healing. God is working through His faithful ministers. He never abandons His people and those who ask Him.
