So, in itself, autism doesn't make someone feel sick, if they live in isolation or if they live only in the company of a few people they tolerate (people with similar interests, family, caretakers, etc).
I see what you mean, I just don't think someone with severe autism is in a better position to lead a good life than someone without.
