The insanity happening at the highest levels of the US government is a serious matter. However, one of my closest family members is diagnosed with autism, and we have a good time dealing with it all using humor.

Best joke of 2025:

> My mom took Tylenol PM, so I only have autism at night.

The autism thing is ridiculous, but you should still stay away from Acetaminophen, because it's extremely hepatotoxic - arguably worse than alcohol if used chronically.

There is nothing so self-contradictory as espousing "zero alcohol is the only safe amount" while also packing away a gram of Acetaminophen per day for headaches.

Please don't spread more FUD.

It's only hepatoxic at high doses. Taking 1 or 2 Tylenol a day is not going to cause any problems.
