And when I was talking about my situation on a facebook page for people with autism, I got this:
With 2-3 years left on the planet, there is no hope to finish college, otherwise, I would have gotten a degree in Biblical Counseling. Jesus is coming in 2017 in September because that is the year of Jubilee. He is our Jubilee and He can set us free from eternal death. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world (You, my dear), that he gave his only begotten Son (Yeshua/Jesus), that whosoever believeth (support) in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
All you have to do is have Faith by supporting Him and following Him with all you have to give.
I was told not to even bother finishing college and to focus on worshiping Jesus because he's coming back in 2017. The problem is, that is a response I expect. I haven't even been addressing religious people, but they come out of the woodwork all the time to say this kind of stuff to me. Giving up is a lot easier for me than asking for money but I was encouraged to try asking for help. The fundraising site I am using has examples of people raising tens of thousands of dollars for things like fertility treatments or homeless dogs and I'm a homeless person who just wants to go back to school and hopefully become a teacher.
If I would have done this at the end of last year, I could have just used it to get a new car battery and I would still be in school. But I didn't. Because I'm not good at asking for anything. I tried to do it all by myself and it fell apart completely and I all I want is to be back in school. I've worked so hard these last 3 years and I am 3 semesters away from a Bachelor's in Mathematics. I don't want *THIS* to be the rest of my life. It isn't a life at all. My alternative is to not finish school, and try to stay with my parents in New Jersey working for minimum wage the rest of my life with my pay garnished by 15% because of student loans I can never pay back.
I just did a deferment, and I can do that for a while, but that doesn't requalify me for financial aid. The grace period of how long I can be out of school has passed.
No, I couldn't afford alcohol and drugs even if I was into that. And the church already knows all about my efforts since November 2013 because I've been there since then. The want my ugly little green house on wheels out of their parking lot. People are complaining. And I tried to qualify for SSI over a year ago. I didn't qualify. *THEIR* doctor felt I was just fine and didn't need the assistance, and the woman that informed me said I didn't pay enough taxes over my lifetime to get anything. I'm not an expert on it. That's just what I was told. When I tried calling those lawyers that deal with social security, they said they just deal with Social Security which I am ineligible to apply for. They do not deal with SSI and said that they don't know anyone who does. You either qualify or you don't.
Regardless. SSI doesn't get me back in school. It doesn't requalify for me financial aid. If I had financial aid, I'd just be fundraising $100 for a new battery.

2) there are several options with student loans. It is very simple to have a hold placed on your loans due to lack of sufficiente income. Just google your options with that.

You don't need a lawyer to file for SSDI
What I'm saying is that you've done what you needed to do to qualify for ssdi if you indeed do have a diagnosis of autism and depression. I'm assuming that you're ill enough to qualify because of your situation. Its either that --or you're inept, which I highly doubt. How are you treating your depression? Drugs or alcohol are the main go to for most.
Show the church that you have a plan and you're willing to work. Ask for a few more months in the lot, and offer tutoring services or something since you're smart.. They're your biggest lead for a job at the moment. I highly doubt thieir pride would allow a homeless person to stay there this long without offering you work and help. Otherwise it would be an embarrassment.
