You would say Autistic children.
Although person-first language is considered politically correct for most disabilities, for example 'person with Down syndrome', with autism identity-first language is considered to be correct. Thus it is in fact 'Autistic children' and not 'children with autism' - although always respect the individuals preferred term.
Identity-first language isn't defining someone by their condition but recognizing it as part of who they are, much like you would say 'gay person' or 'African-American person'.
