What do I do?
do nothing, break the diagnosis papers, hide it to everyone, this would ruin your life, asperger people only get wageslave jobs like janitor or gardener, if you are required a psycholical test for a new job then go to another psychiatrist and lie(there are lifehacks on internet to pass those tests) but don't quit therapy. tell your psychiatrist you already told everyone and keep the therapy

can I not collect benefits instead?
You cant live off disability its shit money something like 800 a month try therapy and try to hold down a fast foos job or something, something that forces you to socialis with people
