This year at 56 the doctor told me I do have autism. Before this year I all ways been sad but i hid from everyone. I was cast a slow learner so i never had the luck at making a good living., how i found out that I have autism was a friend ask me to learn about her disability. And i sern my self now i know why im all ways sad or some timez mad. Very hard for me to talk about it but im trying to change my life. But no luck. What i have is high functioning autism and mild cognitive and a baf speller. I knew there no cure for the sadness so i all ways be down to burn out tofight any more plus i can not get any help i need

Sadness, as you call it, and autism are different things. I think that you have learned to cope with your autism, but that you need a doctor for your sadness. It might be depression.

@eagletrek2 Maybe you need another doctor. When a doctor does not suit me, I look for another.

We all have our own share of life's ups and downs, happiness and loneliness and a lot more. Because that is part of life here in on eartn. I suggest that you look at the lives of other people. There are those who are fortunate and those who are less fortunate. But no matter, we go on and continue to fight because we want to live. Situations of us all varies and its up to us to make things positive coz happiness is a state of the mind a choice we can do if we want to. Hope you feel better soon. Let's go on and be happy no matter how difficult the situation is. Have a great Sunday.

Autism does not equate to sadness, but knowing you did not fit in might make you sad, even when you did not have a name for it. Every autistic person is different, and you seem to have made your way so far. You have good language, not all autistic people do. You can read, not all who are autistic can. I have worked with both autistic children and adults.

It sounds like you are dealing with depression. There are medications that can help you with that. As for the autism, at this point you have found a way to cope and live with it. I don't think at the age of 56 much is going to change in that regard.

You might have learnt a lot by now to cope with your autism. It was not diagnosed for 56 long years and so people around you didn't know about your condition and might have not treated you appropriately. Trying to fit in with no professional help is very challenging and draining for an autistic person.That might be causing you feel sad. But now that you know of your condition, come out and seek professional help for your sadness.
