DS is 6 and recently diagnosed with ASD, awaiting a ADHD assessment. He’s always chewing, so much so that he even grinds and chews his teeth at night. He has chew necklaces that we encourage him to wear and these seem to massively help with his anxiety when we are out. However even when he’s got these on he still chews his clothes and I’m at my wits ends with it! He’s chewed through the neck bit of every t-shirt he owns, gone through 6 pairs of jeans (he bites the knees), can’t wear school jumpers for more than a week etc.
Ive looked at burning the wrist cuffs to stop him biting those and as I say he always has his chew necklaces on but does anyone have any tips of how to get him biting through the tops of his tshirts? They look like they’ve been attacked by moths and I can’t afford to keep buying new clothes every week (we have applied for DLa but only just sent the forms off)
