I have gotten some food aid. I show enough respect for taxpayers to not buy sweets (unless you call strawberries, oranges, grapes, or bananas 'sweets') on that aid.

I am also starting vocational rehab even before I can collect SSDI... as a hedge. I might be able to do something compatible with Asperger's at my age. I would rather be a taxpayer.

Trying to get off is good, and not rubbing it in their faces is good.  It would be nice if there were some equivalent to the "thank you for your service" that vets get, but I'm not sure how that would work.

You might try learning a computer scripting language like PHP or Python.  They are relatively easy to learn, and Asperger's is a big plus for programming, due to the perfectionistic tendencies and the ability to focus.  Java is higher end but takes more training.
