Hi, everyone.
I am a forty-three-year-old, cisgender man who has been formally diagnosed with autism and obsessive compulsive disorder.
I work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.
My hobbies include music, playing racquetball, watching movies, Rostrum, quiz nights, roller skating, and magnet fishing.
I have no children. I have a pet rat.

Welcome to Wrong Planet.

What is your pet rat's name?

Welcome to Wrong Planet.

I read your post. You used a word I wasn't familiar with. The term was cisgender. According to the internet:
cisgender means denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex registered for them at birth; not transgender.

So in other words you are a male who is a male. This is a strange world we live in where a person has to explain who they are.

I also came across another term describing your hobbies. You said you were a Rostrum. So I looked that one up also. It said, "The meaning of ROSTRUM is an ancient Roman platform for public orators." That sounds like a very good trait to have.

Welcome to the site. Glad to have you here.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!
I used to have rats; they're great pets. I thought of them as my kids.

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

Oh, you mentioned "no children". Are you married?

I hope working at KFC is at least OK. I usually order "two piece, dark meat, original recipe, no sides".

And if so, is your bride on WP, too?
(My bride is but she's so busy she doesn't log in often...she's ADHD, by the way.)

Welcome from the West.

I once worked at KFC. However, I only lasted two weeks because I wasn't a "people person". So I admire you for being able to work there.

Could you tell us more about Rostrum?
