📝 AITAH for reacting poorly when my dad slapped my neck from behind me

So I (18m) was sitting down waiting for my dad (51) to be done in whatever shop he was looking around in, I recently got my wisdom teeth would and suffered nerve bruising. so I'm in quite the bit of pain (it's been about a week) and on top of that I'm naturally just a high strung person, especially in public (I'm autistic and have ADHD for more context) and when I was looking at my phone he slapped my neck kinda hard, so naturally I quietly shouted 'fuck!' and jumped up a bit, being quite startled I basically told him not to do that and that he scared me. He then basically went off on me for over reacting and causing a scene, resulting in an argument where he basically called me immature stupid and a leech for depending on him my whole life (mind you he has hit me as a child in the past among other things so we don't have an amazing relationship, but it does have its good moments) So AITAH for 'over reacting' and doubling down that he shouldn't do that?
