Do you think the type of person who would fake an autism diagnosis for $3k a month is the same type of person who could successfully run a profitable enterprise?
My parents came to the USA $500 in debt. They had no place to stay and a 6 month old baby to raise. They refused all welfare programs out of pride except for Medicaid, because they needed a doctor to vaccinate me. 21 years later and we are comfortably living as an upper middle class family. They didn't get here by swindling bureaucrats, they got here through honest work and a quarter of a lifetime of pain.
Most criminals stay stuck on the bottom rung for this reason: of course you might be able to sociopathically hustle your way to the top a la Theranos or Enron, but to do that you have to believe you are capable of honest work. Hustlers don't believe in anything except for their next hustling opportunity. For every successful hustle there are another 1000 failures that never got anywhere.
