Autumn Usage
Autumn is both the season of maturity and the time when the grass and trees begin to thin out before the harsh winter, so when autumn is used in a metaphorical sense, it can refer to both the "maturing period" of a person and the "maturing period" of a person. The exact meaning depends on the modifier and the context.
Autumn can be preceded by the preposition in, during, etc., such as in autumn, in the autumn, during the autumn (the can not be omitted). When a season comes, it is not the, as in Autumn has come and Spring has come.
When used as the name of a season (i.e., a semi-proprietary noun), it often begins with a capital letter, and is generally lowercase.
