I also suffer from acute food sensitivities that prevent me from eating any chicken between three months and precisely two years, five months old.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, I really like trains! Did you know the initial rolling stock of KTX trains was based on Alstom&#8217;s TGV R\u00e9seau and reached speeds of 219 miles per hour in tests, resulting in the new and upgraded KTX-Sancheon trains that the South Korean railway company Korail operates?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really love learning about trains, but it also makes me feel lonely. The only friend I have is a girl who\u2019s highly opinionated on the debate between Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori for \u201cbest Japanese \u201880s idol.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyway, I found out that my mom took one Tylenol when she was pregnant with me. This raised concerns, given that the Department of Health and Human Services has linked Tylenol during pregnancy to autism. I already thought that was enough proof that I\u2019m autistic, but then I learned my dad is circumcised? That settles it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the only thing left unanswered is this: If I also get circumcised, does my autism cancel out? Or do I get double autism? Excuse me, but now I need to go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole while listening to \u201cProgram tvog kompjutera\u201d eighteen times in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found out that my mom took one Tylenol when she was pregnant with me.
