Aspie daughter is killing me

My 19 year old daughter is literally killing me. She was diagnosed with ASD after a childhood of being thrown out of preschools, camps, special ed for emotional impairment. I was even dragged to court when she was 6 for ‘failing to meet her psychiatric needs’ as if her behaviors were my fault -this after taking her to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers - all of whom missed the diagnosis and said she just had ‘anxiety’ and depression. Throughout all this, I somehow managed to keep my job and even excelled while she was in school. Now that she is no longer being supported by the school system, she has increasingly become worse, screaming, demanding, a total slob. She constantly lies to family members about me and has alienated me from my sisters. She has a serious THC addiction problem, but refuses to get help. She is enrolled at a university, and spent her financial aid money on weed. Now she is demanding money from me every day. If I don’t cave in, she begins tantruming. I have been evicted from an apartment, and will be thrown out of this one soon. Now my daughter will not allow me to work (I work remotely) and I’m about to lose my job. She screams that I’m ‘ignoring’ her when I work. She hits me and scratches me. I am in hell.
