ASD constant chewing

My 8 year old (asd) is constantly chewing his clothes and it is costing a fortune!

We saw the OT for the first time and she gave him a tube to chew but I am hoping to find something a little more subtle for him to chew someone mentioned chewable Jewellery.

I was wondering if anyone could please recommend somewhere I can purchase these at a reasonable price?

Ds age 4 is constantly chewing too. If he's not chewing he's drinking out of beakers, sucking a soother(one he has taken from the baby) , his sleeve or anything he can get into his mouth. I got him one of those tubes but he doesn't like it.

I got the chewy dog-tag style necklace for ds to wear in the supermarket when we are at the check out. It stops him from putting his mouth on the shopping trolley and anything metal while I am packing the shopping. He also has a chewy tube which he uses at home if he feels the need to chew. The necklace and tube have been great. He has stopped chewing his toys and clothes since I got them.
