Worried about my adult daughter

Hello Sir:  thank you for your post.  I believe I am a high functioning Autistic person.  I was more sociable when I was younger.  I can relate to your description about your daughter.  When my parents forced me to take medications that I myself know are not required (for me), I got upset.  I lived with my parents until I was in my mid30s when they kicked me out of the house.  I guess they were thinking that I would be more social otherwise.  Now for many years, I live by myself.  So instead of being around my parents and alone, I'm by myself and alone.  Yes for a long time I struggled to earn, but I began earning in my early 30s.  So financial assistance isn't an issue; however, I believe if it isn't one thing or another, my parents will find every excuse rather than the truth to accuse me.  Financial, food, water, etc...etc...etc.  Just ask why I am not social.  The more you beat around the bush, the more upset we become.  I am not social because I don't understand the world around me.  Everyone is ok with lying.  I'm not much of a liar.  Here in the USA...from leaders to peons all lie.  Basic examples - (from my lifetime) Bill Clinton lied about having sexual relations with a girl in the office; W. Bush and company lied about WMDs in Iraq.  16 years later, no weapons but plenty of oil.  Then those who abuse, and no one speaks up as in Michael Jackson, or Harvey Weinstein.  The list in Hollywood is almost endless.  Even New York City and Boston to Silicon Valley.  When the leaders in life lie, cheat and abuse... it kind of trickles down where everyone thinks that lying, cheating and stealing brings success.  In sure it does but most of us aren't winners like that.  So socializing requires the same skills where people think they are inherently smarter or greater or whatever people socialize about.  It is a culture of bullying and harassing as means to generate laughter.  Since belittling people is the preferred means...how hard is to make fun of people that don't understand what's going on?  When I've been taught that lying is bad, and requiresthousands of lies just to cover up that lie...you see their is no subjectivity in lying.  Unlike beauty where the beholder may feel differently.  Anywhere you go in the world, these means of socialization are exactly the same.  All are taught not to lie.  Unfortunately when those at the top of our food chains lie, so does everyone else.  So what's the point of socializing where I am ALWAYS the butt of every joke.  At some point in life, a realization is made that life isn't going to get any better.  For me it was in my mid30s.  I guess that's why they call it over the hill.  What I do suggest is encourage her to find activities that help her learn her interest.  Or, if she is interested in overcoming her autistism...then help her find community college or university classes to teach her why things are.  I am now interested in learning sign language.  I hope it will help me overcome my inability to understand basic nonverbal communication.  I don't care about socialization because nothing good will ever come to me, or of me.  What's the point?  Now I'm an older man, and no one cared enough about me before, and who is going to care for me now?  I don't mean to be rude, but those will only be who found that their ways were wrong early in life.  If I didn't to anything wrong, why am I punished by being alone or the butt of everyone's jokes.  I don't know, and neither does the team of professionals who are tired of helping me.  What have I said that is wrong?  We each are forced to live our lives because society has defined the norms.  I've been made into an outcast, so what can I do?  Best of luck and thanks for posting.
