I expect other people will chip in to the thread and I won't answer quickly sometimes as I have a few things going on. :-)
You have come through a bad patch so you are likely to be stressed and anxious for a while. Hopefully, this will settle as you get to understand more about ASD. Hopefully you will be able to work yourself away from the medication with time. Medication isn't necessary for ASD as such.
Biipolar disorder is often mistakenly diagnosed in ASD people. Our behaviour, particularly when stressed and when we don't understand how we work or how the world works, is hard to distinguish from true bipolar disorder. Is the psychiatrist you are with a real specialist in autism conditions?
Given your state of distress and anxiety it is normal that you will take all of the little remarks badly. I don't expect your parents are intending to be harsh, it may just come across that way to you.
Social phobia is a learnt problem that can be unlearnt with a lot of patience and self awareness. Your interactions with the world will have been fairly dismal due to your communication problems. You can work on these and learn how to have better interactions and you might learn to trust people out in society a bit more.
Is maths what you really want to do? I'm guessing that it is because you have so many maths books.
