Ellen DeGeneres' Unfunny Netflix Special Leaves So Much Unsaid - Lemmy.ca

What’d I miss? I’ve worked for some bosses who were complete assholes, and I’ve worked for bosses where learning they had ADHD or OCD is absolutely no surprise. I’ve also worked for people-pleasers and pranksters.

I’m gonna all but beg for downvotes, but i admit I haven’t been paying enough attention to spot more than just immature serially-hyper-focused “ha ha look at me that was fun for the 50th time wanna know what my favourite dinosaur is?” behaviour of someone with profound ADHD.

Where was she a documented asshole beyond that? It was in the dreck I just really ignored?

While I have your attention before the downvote, I’m glad that she seemed more relaxed in that special, that she brought Portia up - who is a stunner to this day, wow - for this maybe-last appearance like “this is me happy now” and how far a cry that was from her early days hiding her sexuality from herself, then family, then work. If she’s happy as she quits the biz, then I think that’s everyone.

Untreated ADHD often leads to major depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a lot of other shit. Not everyone with ADHD is hyper or talkative, sometimes it’s internalized and trust me, it fucking sucks. It can legitimately be disabling at times.
