I feel like no one takes me seriously because I'm young (rant)

Hello, I got my TBI two years ago due to a bad OD, not to get into it but I was in a Coma for a couple of days and had to stay in hospital for around a month and a half. I was fifteen when I got it meaning I was finishing secondary school. My secondary school was great but now that I'm in college I feel like none of my teachers really take my brain damage seriously, and It doesn't help that I don't really feel disabled and I feel like I'm attention seeking every time I talk about it. On one occasion this bitch of a classmate hit me on the back of the head and it caused a super bad migraine and my teacher didn't really do shit but sorta treat it like we were messing around. My mum often thinks I'm using weaponized incompetence when I misinterpret her instructions which really fucking sucks, why can't I just be retarded without people thinking I'm doing it on purpose?? Small shit like this really infuriates me but I feel like I've got no one to blame or I deserve it because I took the overdose myself when I was fifteen. I hate this and I feel like I've ruined myself and I just wanna complain
