Chewing things

grazza86

I have an habit of chewing the string on a hooded jacket and chewing a part of a keyring.

What kind of things can people with AS buy to try to get themselves out of habits like the one i have mentioned above??

  • I buy toothbrushes with soft and hard bits on the handle and chew the hell out of them! You can buy special chew things on the net, google heavy blankets uk and there's a place that sells them... I don't try to get myself out of the habit... it really helps me sooth myself and stops me from feeling pain and tension from over stimulus. Alternatively, if chewing isn't going to be easy in certain environments.. dried fruit can help or you can try resting more regularly in quiet places until you calm down. You're chewing for a reason... listen to your body. Hope this helps.
