Absolutely.  Almost all of Forward to Foundation is somewhat autobiographical if you look at Seldon as Asimov.  First, the his advisers (editors) leave him, he is unwillingly thrust into a position of leadership, (sci-fi) his wife dies, (divorced) he finds a new woman to share his life with, (new wife) and dies with his life's work completed (works).
