Geographic Tongue/Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Just wondering if many people suffer from teethgrinding or geographic tongue?

Also any tip on easing the conditions? Im in the process of waiting to get a diagnosis to find out if I'm on the spectrum, but just wondered if people on the spectrum sufferred from any of the above conditions as I do.

    My dentist said I was definately teethgrinding and if it persists he will get a bite guard made for me. Im a bit funny with certain textures especially in my mouth so I'm a bit nervous about it.

     it does take a wee bit to get used to it, it feels like you have something stuck at your throat for a bit, but you DO get used to it, and its better doing that than it is grinding your teeth to nothing

    tho i think if your grinding isnt affecing you and doesnt bother you it isnt a thing you need a guard for yet, so its always somethng you can put off,

    but if your grinding starts to interfere in your life and or you feel pain/sensitivity its best to go get one

    but instead of putting it in and keeping it in, try it at wee bits at a time, put it in, just sit with it, get used to it, then take it out till you can keep it in longer etc

    the plastic stuff they use is kinda tough so you cant change it, but then it has to be so you dont bite through it (which i kinda do hahah)
