An Autistic Method for Consuming M&Ms as Observed in an American Expat Residing in Southern Brazil

Neurodivergent self-fieldwork at its briefest and finest

In a recent comment exchange with fellow Autistic and snack-eater

, I attempted to describe how I eat M&Ms. She suggested I write about this, but a video seemed even better.

So, here is my autistically organizational way of eating M&Ms.

Content warning: Unedited. Chewing sounds. Also, I suggested feeding M&Ms to your dog, despite chocolate being bad for dogs. That said, one of the professors at my graduate school fed them to my dog at the time at least twice a week (yes, they let me bring the dog into the building), and said dog lived to be almost 17. So, apparently several M&Ms a week for a few years is an acceptable dosage, probably because they're more sugar than chocolate. Also, I am not a veterinarian (that would be my dad).
