I think your mind is in the right place. My spouse and I both have histories hauntingly similar to Jayden's, and taking this approach, albeit learning many caveats to it along the way (eg. artwork on commission is best handled immediately, and with thick oven mitts), we've done decently for ourselves. If he doesn't struggle with focus for autism-related reasons like we did (or has -guidance- in that struggle), and his family continues to support his artwork without the background hum of 'when is he going to make real money off that' that I've heard all too often in families with a developmentally disabled child, he'll go far.
