We had a higear Kalahari 8 for 3 of us for 5 or so years (fantastic value for money), now we have a kampa studland 8 for the three of us - with the extra extension on the end. Advantage of both designs over some other tents are options that mean your bedroom isn't directly next to your children's. Makes for better sleep and more privacy ;-)
Both tents are possible to put up on your own with some practice.

We have a big 7 man tent with built in porch for two adults and two children with ASC.
My kids are much older now, and I’m not sure what your child with sensory needs is like, but my ‘been there, done that’ advice would be that easy to pitch is quite important.
You think they’ll hold poles, but they get bored, or the wind flaps and they freak out, or it’s wet and they can’t deal with the texture etc etc and suddenly you’re on your own pitching a massive tent whilst simultaneously chasing children round a field! Great entertainment for neighbouring pitches, but not a relaxing start!
I’m very short, and I can’t pitch that massive tent on my own. Not a chance. But I can manage our mode size 6 man Vango Isis. Just.
I’ve never had an inflatable tent, but I wonder if that might be easier?
