No need to alert TSA in advance or to even say anything at the podium as that simply drags out what is a simple process.
On the extraordinarily remote chance that there is an issue which causes OP and family to be referred to another line which lacks a "mag," that may be the time to raise the autism issue. But, to be clear, this is a remote possibility and there is no need to raise this in advance.
99.9% of the time, any child accompanying a Pre-Check parent (or who has Pre-Check himself) will walk through a standard mag at normal speed and there will be no issue whatsoever. This will be faster, less intrusive, and easier overall than anything else.
