Maybe sometimes it's the carers that believe they're suffering but the person himself/herself is pretty okay (as okay as someone that isn't on the spectrum anyway).
My daughter has been through a lot due to social stuff, but she's now happy and healthy. My son has struggled a bit, and continues to do so, but he's happy 80% of the time, and I'm happy mostly, or at least content.
I don't think it should be assumed that someone is suffering unless they communicate that to you though.
