Yes, get a non O based on retirement and then a non  O for your son. He's older than normally allowed but I would think there are special allowances for some cases

Hold fire till next year.

Also much easier if you are married but understand this may not suit.

You will meed to prove son is dependant, not sure how you do this.

Also you will need medical insurance for you & son,dont trust to luck, medical fees could wipe you out.

Have you lived in Thailand before ? There is good reason why many Thai leave and don’t go home and that is because the west is more suited, Thailand is not a cheap as many think and what healthcare coverage do you have ? I would suggest try a year and don’t make it permanent straight away.

Marriage certificate and birth certificate of your son are both required. Medical certificates to justify his condition. In all fairness I believe you will succeed easier once the covid situation eases up a bit. So you would probably need to stay a bit longer in Australia. All documents need to be attested by the Australian MFA and the Thai embassy in Australia and also the Thai MFA and Australian embassy in Thailand as per the procedures. Your own visa would be Non O as well as your son’s. There are financial requirements for bank deposits in Thai bank accounts  which I am not sure about. My opinion is that while you prepare the documents you visit Bangkok when it’s opened up and engage a local law office to help you with all this. While hard it is definitely doable.

Legally marrying your Thai partner will make a long term visa process a whole lot easier and cheaper for you and your son, if that's something you are prepared to do.

You will have to show that he is dependent on you
