To those who can't work, how do you handle the 'what do you do for work" question?
Post Body

It seems like every time I meet someone new one of the first things they ask to get to know me is what I do for work. I can't work because of my autism, but saying I'm on disability or that I can't work always seems to make the conversation awkward.

For others in the same situation, what do you say when people ask this?
