Depressed Aspie

So today I got affirmation that I do indeed suffer from Asperger's. That's just great; now I have two things to overcome. I always have wondered why I don't fit in; why I have no real interest in having friends, wondering why I never really fit in. The real question to answer is how can I integrate myself into any job in the future; I feel as though I will get the 'you are just not the right fit' speech over and over again, which feeds my bipolar disorder; I usually end up manic and irritated after it happens. I look back on my life and can clearly see when this could have been found, and corrected. My doctor seems to think I can learn empathy; and begin to see people's emotional cues. I can only tell the emotions of my wife and children; I have a great deal of empathy for them. In researching Asperger's I have discovered that a great many scientists , Einstein for example, had Aspergers. I just wonder if the world has changed so that I will never be accepted, and be allowed to put my skills in chemistry to good use. This feeds the hopelessness I am feeling from my mild,but progressing, depression. So today I am feeling emotions from anger to despair. I will do some therapy that may help me, although this is more effective at younger ages. I also feel a great burden of passing this on to my sons. I can see some of my behaviors trying to surface in one of my sons. I know I will get him help so he does not have to feel like he is worthless when he is grown. So any Bipolar Aspies out there have any advice for me?.
