You both sound like very reasonable parents and I feel there is hope for your children with your good attitudes and all the help that is now available.
When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s it was very different. Autism was unheard of. Mainstream schools had no idea how to help children like me. It was just physical punishments for not behaving and being mute.
The year I spent in a special school was like a safe haven. But it didn't provide any education, academically or practical life skills.
Now, I see that there is so much help out there. You are very lucky to be living in enlightened times.
