Autism & Stress

How do you deal with Autism & Stress? I'm in a situation where we do not have family or friends to watch our THREE autistic children so when you are with them day after day with no relief or respite it can be very taxing. For stress relief I actually do these things:

* Changed my diet several times, I am a virtual vegan now

* Exercise when I can or have the energy to do so when they are asleep but usually by the end of the day I am too exhausted to even stand or care for that matter.

* Focus on my work.

* Research deep topics at night and add them here. One thing I have grown dislike over the years is 'small talk' and 'chat' sessions. I really do not have time for it. I relish peace.
