Adult Step-daughter screams daily at my son with autism.

I'm really at a cross-roads here. I'm 33, and live with my SO (39), his daughter (18), her son (2), and my son (5). My son has autism, but he's in kindergarten and is doing very well. I'm online working 2 jobs nearly every day, and I work 30-50 hours per week. I also do nearly 100% of the cooking for our family, and almost all the housework as well (especially the really dirty jobs no one wants to do). I'm sort of introverted, and I keep a lot bottled up inside. I rarely raise my voice or lose my temper. This morning, I lost my zen for about 10 seconds and bit back.
