I used to chew up plastic bottle caps, headphone wires, my fingers, and water bottle straws. (Pro tip: if you can't afford a chewy, Bubba reusable straws are very similar to chew tubes.) Now, I have two necklaces from Stimtastic, one for light chewing and one for medium. The muscles around my mouth and jaw have pretty low tone so medium is the max I like to use. Light is great for when I feel like grinding my teeth, medium is for when I need to chew. If you've read all that..have a great day/night!

I tend to chew on my hands and my cheeks. Also, I have chomped on my cell phone when I was having a meltdown. I bought a chew for around my neck recently but it's a tad too thick for regular use, but still good for meltdowns. My problem is a bit strange. I like to grab a bit of my inner cheek and run it between my teeth. Sometimes I nibble on it as well. I have scars from it as I've done it most of my life and I'm 37 now. I am going to try to find a thinner one to run between my teeth instead. The main reason I have done it for so long because my family was uneducated about Aspergers and would attribute all of my stimming to my eyesight issues.

His phone is his most precious possession and he is very worried about the cost and us being mad. I always have insurance on his phones, especially because he gets mad when the operating system or an app don't allow him to customize their functions. He has thrown his phone in anger before, but only a couple times has he bitten it and broken it. I had him search online for bitting stim items and we are waiting on our first shipment. We will have to try ChewiGem too.

My kiddo has exhibited all the symptoms, but it wasnt until recently that I found a word for it. I have since started watching your channel and it is like watching our life through someone else. I greatly appreciate you giving me insight on all aspects of this. All this time I just thought I must be a terrible mum- she has regular meltdowns, she always thinks I am angry even if I'm smiling, she cant process multiple/loud noises.

I like to chew on bottle caps have the whole thing in my mouth, lol. I have a vape pen which I chew on the cap which is plastic. Oh yeah and any necklace I had would go in my mouth. People look at you like your weird and ask you why you have a necklace in your mouth. 😒 Also almost forgot how much I love hard candy like jolly ranchers, I like to chew on the and bend them when they got small enough and chewy starburst.

When we found out last year my nephew has spd and some other sensory type disorders i ordered him some chews from stimtastic also and its amazing getting to see him able to self regulate so much easier than i could as a kid he is about 3 yrs old and he can regulate pretty darn well thanks to his fidgets/chews Have a great day!! ps i loved the collaboration you did with Fathering Autism it helped my sister understand why i get meltdowns etc.

Back to the Chewelries: As a kid I often was chewing on my jackets zipper tangelsor my hairs. I eventually stopped that as my parens pointed it out to me often but started to chew on my nails or gently on my fingers. Still doing that. I also find a lot of comfort from eating food if stressed but just because of the sensory input, it caused me to gain waight, what brought me close to an eating disorder(ballet and weight gain is a critical thing). Sometimes, if beeing really stressed/overwhelmed from simply existing and having to do daily stuff like going to school, dance classes, chores, I just took a washcloth and chew on it, and it helped me to calm down.

Some are a lil too tough for me to casually chew on for hours tho, and i get tired, but i bought a bunch of different ones, cause everyone is different. Personally i like the tough ones for when im upset in any way, and the less though for when im stressed or nervous. I like the ones with sensory stuff on the chew item itself the most, usually they have little nubs or ribs or raised dots on them. Amazing for casual or mindless chewing!

I'm 23 and have chewed inappropriately and intensely throughout my whole life (hoodie strings, pencils, fingernails, fingers, inside of mouth--that last one I'm still struggling badly with). I've never been able to redirect it onto something safe, nothing quite gave the satisfaction I needed (for my style of chewing I need to bite pieces off with my front teeth) (also it's so interesting to me that there are different styles of chewing preferred by different people!) but I've just received my first two pieces of chewelry in the mail and I'm hoping I'll be able to train myself to use them instead! Thank you for your videos, chewing is natural and helpful for so many people for so many reasons and it needs to be normalized!

I just started using one yesterday, it is helping me smoke and snack less which is awesome. I am spending long days studying and the neurospicy part of me is under stimulated and is massively looking for more sensory input

You have the funniest reactions when you unbox stuff!!! Interesting, I didn’t know people have urges to chew. Wow. Makes me wonder if I’d enjoy it. LOL.

When I get anxious I tend to chew my cheeks and hands, it’s been a problem because I’ve been chewing down so hard and frequently I’ve cracked my tooth. So these look amazing

Yeah I used to do that with my lip.

I have always had chewing issues, like I used to chew holes in good shirts, hoodies, things like that. I used to just eat the hoodie strings (why most of my hoodies don't have them anymore, but newer ones do bc I'm working on it) I also chew holes in my cheeks and lips, same with my fingers, but I recently discovered chew stims. I'm getting some on Friday to help with chewing!

I usually chew my fingers, plastic things, books, my whole hands and my clothes. Sometimes I break my pencils in a bite, or ruin every shirt I use, and I REALLY need to chew on stuff to feel better. I think those fidgets are very helpful to deal with that need to chew on stuff, thanks for sharing us your opinion about them! I'm considering on buying them now.

I hadn't come across them until one of the boys I looked after used to grind his teeth and bite himself and these were so helpful. Thanks Dan great video!

I’m in the process of getting diagnosed with aspergers and I play field hockey that’s my obsession and I never used to wear gum shields because I was always worried it would affect my breathing but I decided to try it and I found that when I play to cope with an overload of emotions I grind my teeth but now I can just chew on the gum shield. I also bite my nails and the tips of my fingers as well as crack my nuckles when I’m either stressed or bored it’s annoying because I get told off constantly when I never realise I’m doing it a lot of the times.

Omg thank you for telling us about these, I've ordered the necklace and bracelet to try out. When I'm stressed and anxious I have a bad habit of biting my nails and skin on my fingers. And during meltdowns I bite my finger knuckles. I'm hoping this will help and stop me damaging myself so much.

I wish I knew about these before. Chewing things is one of the few stims I do that actually keeps me calm and I lost three teeth because I used to chew plastic bottle caps and pull tabs on cans.

I've always chewed on the little tassle things on hoodies, the collars of shirts, I've chewed on necklaces (not made for chewing,BTW), I also chew on the ends of the sleeves on my long sleeve jackets and long sleeve shirts and stuff. I'm definitely gonna have to look into the chewy gem stuff because I already have an Ark therapeutics bite saber necklace (the blue one I have is xxt for extra extra tough) which is great, but it shows all the teeth marks on it and anything else rougher than that (which wouldn't show marks) hurts my mouth and my teeth since they're kinda sensitive. So I'm definitely gonna look into this!!!

Thank u so much. My son is 9 and on the spectrum he has gone for candles, paper, remotes the raised patterns on tshirts, clothes, pens, pencils, polystyrene, masking tape paint an the list goes on. He picks the paint work and eats it. Had bloods done and came back fine. I'm jus scared he will bite through them as he has done b4. He really needs something though. We will be trying these.

I have a few different disorders and I'm a father of an autistic child and he constantly grinds his teeth when he gets mad and it made me realize that I bite down and flex my jaw when I get irritated.... Now I want to order these for me and him to see if it helps. Thanks man..... Nice video idea. 😁👍🏻
