22 month old chewing his clothes

Hi!
22 month old DS chewing his tops, and in the process stretching them out!
Chews his sleeves too.
I googled this, expecting google to tell me this was a normal thing which kids do - but it came up with loads of stuff about it being a concern and a sign of ADHD/autism!
That or it's something wrong dentally.

Has anyone's toddler's been through a clothes chewing phase?
Can someone put my mind at ease, or should I be worried? Thanks!

Neither of mine have really done this however I know plenty of kids who do, none of whom seem to have any neurodiversity. If it's your only worry I wouldn't worry

If it could be his teeth, has he got any coming through? Has he been registered with a dentist yet?
