    i really wish they made those chewing sticks for humans, chewing on a rubbery stick sounds amazing to my autistic mind

    like that would instantly take me from middling tooth health to best teeth in the game, i’d be chewing those shits day in day out to the point that the dentist has to tell me to cut it down, not to mention how great it would be for jaw strength!

      They actually do make those for people with sensory needs. They look like Lego’s and are on a lanyard

        Please be conscientious if you choose to use a coping method like this. Some estimates put misophonia as prevalent as affecting 1 in 5 people. Your chewing on something to calm yourself down may be setting off full fight or flight in the person next to you.
