Can't do anything right

Feeling annoyed and deflated. I don't expect praise for staying at home and caring for DS. DS is five and has low functioning autism so very high needs.
But what is pissing me off is the way DH speaks to me. I feel like he's always criticising me.
For example had quite a tough week with DS and hadn't got round to ordering online shop for today. I managed to order last night for tomorrow and DH moaned at me. Said my time management is rubbish, why didn't I do it earlier in the week, now I expect him to go to the shop ( to pick up one thing). I said he could order the shopping from now on. No, that's your job, you're at home all the time.
I got critised on Thursday because I don't get round to ringing schools with resource centres, ignoring the fact DS had a massive meltdown and DH had booked for me to take him out in the afternoon.
I feel like I can't do anything right. It's really getting to me. I can't go back to work as DS can't cope for long in school and he has several appointments a month. I feel like crying most days because I feel like I'm falling at everything.
The icing on the cake was that last night DH told me when his mum was a SAHM she organised her time really well and his dad never had to nag her.
I feel like giving up.

Does your DH ever help with childcare.
Do you get time away.

He does take DS swimming on the weekend and might help with bedtime if I ask him too. He won't do bedtime on his own though
