For some reason I'm suspecting the possibility that you and your dad are a lot alike, and that could be why you don't get along too well. I'm not sure why, and maybe I'm just projecting, but the way you describe your relationship with him sounds a lot like a father who sees the same things in his son that he doesn't like, and doesn't want to accept, in HIMSELF.
This might be going out on a limb, but I'm also suspecting that me may just be on the spectrum himself, and in complete denial of it.
I get the feeling he may think he had just as hard a time getting and keeping employment as you are having, and if he was on the spectrum (not never realized it), but perhaps not quite as debilitated as you are, he probably feels that if he could do it, so can you.
I really don't think it's fair of him to take a screening test on your behalf without you there to ask if you think the answers are correct. I did the same thing for all of my sons, but they were here, and I ASKED them what they thought I should answer for most questions. Some questions though, both me and my wife disagreed with them on. Some even me and my wife couldn't agree on, so we went with whatever got two or more votes.
I don't know, but I think that's a much more fair and realistic way of doing it. Taking it for someone else entirely, without any input at all from them, is just, well, not a very smart way to learn the truth.
This would explain why the last time I heard of him working, he was grading FCATs seems he could have found a better use for his PHD he flaunts
