Other comments have covered the main points in this post and I agree with them, so I will concentrate on the last bit about mental issues and your apparent confusion with them.
ADHD is where you find it difficult to pay attention and feel the need to fiddle with things all the time, this seems unrelated to your father's outburst.
Dyslexia is where you have writing and spelling difficulties. It means you find it very difficult to learn spellings by just memorising them, but can be just as good at spelling by being taught in a different way. Having had dyslexia may have lowered your father's self esteem, but it is no reason for his outburst.
Autism isn't a disability so much as a difference in the way the brain works. Autistic people are more logical and often take things very literally (helpful in maths and programming, not so much in life). They have difficulty understanding social situations and so tend to be socially awkward. Extremely autistic people effectively live in their own little worlds in their heads, but most autistic people comprehend and live in the real world too. Extremely autistic people appear mentally retarded and so autism is occasionally used as a derogatory term. It is unlikely that your father meant anything more by it than just an insult when he was arguing with your mother.
I do not think that your father has any of these things, he probably just has low self esteem and is under a lot of stress. He is in difficult financial circumstances and nothing seems to be going right (like the internet). He doesn't feel that this is his fault so he feels and angry and helpless so he lashes out blame at people and feels the need to complain all the time.
Is it normal that my dad yelled at me in THIS way?
