Autistic and a parent

Hello, just wondering if there is anyone here who has an autism diagnosis and is a parent?

I received my diagnosis at the age of 35, it was liberating and a relief that there was a reason to what I felt was happening to me, now it is something I'm struggling with.

I am ccurrently experiencing a period of burn out and have taken leave from work as a result. The largest stressor and trigger unfortunately are my children. They are aged between 2 and 7 and typically with young children very demanding. 

If anyone is in a similar situatio  how do you manage? Taking leave from motherhood is not an option. 

Thank you for reading. Afer many deep dives on google I think here is my best chance of finding some help.
