Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum

In your case first there is need to investigate cause of your stress and frustration. Care of

Following are possible causes of stress and frustration in your case:
-Anxiety and depression: due to stress of looking after 2 kids, specially to one kid having autism.
-Poor medical condition: As you delivered just 11 month back, so check your hemoglobin level and take healthy diet.
-Adjustment problem: Involve your husband and other family members to care kids.

You can meet nearby psychiatrist/psychologist to ascertain cause and treatment according to cause.

Till that time take healthy diet, accept your child problem and do morning brisk walk. It will relax you and will reduce stress and frustration to some extent.
