An autistic person has been left in a state of “shock and disbelief” after learning their advent calendar contains a different-shaped chocolate every day, reports have confirmed.

After yesterday morning’s unveiling of a piece of chocolate shaped like the jolly face of Father Christmas, Becky Armitage, 26, thought she was fully prepared for what was behind door number two – yet was confronted by a nasty surprise.

“It’s a sick joke,” Armitage told us. “I mean, who knows what might pop out of those doors tomorrow? And the day after? And the day after that?”

Eyewitnesses reported seeing Armitage running around their kitchen screaming “What the fuck? What the fuck?”, before scranning a packet of chocolate buttons for a bit of consistency.

Flatmate Natasha Weaving, 28, commented: “It’s just a snowman, Becky.”
