Does he grind his teeth?
Teeth grinding is luckily mainly limited to when he's sleeping, so we still give him a dummy at night (partly to prevent damage, and partly because we can't stand the noise, and he ends up in our bed quite often).
The mouthing seems to be more about seeking oral sensory input. Often goes for rubbery things to chew on, or will just stick a toy in his mouth. At times he'll end up chewing on his clothes without even realising it.
It's not as bad as some cases I've heard of, but in his case it's his most obvious symptom to others (most people thing he's a normal, neurotypical kid, and don't realise that alot of his behaviours are driven by ASD).
My eldest son did have a dummy when sleeping until he was nearly three. He did grind his teeth (which sounded terrible) on occasion - that seemed to come and go. We got him sleeping in his own room all night and weaned him off the dummy pretty much cold turkey by removing that bit of the bed time routine and replacing it with another activity (cuddle with mummy I think). I thought it would be a real battle but they can surprise you sometimes.
Is the chewing 'the thing' he does? I.e my son spins stuff and and also arranges things. Could you replace the chewing with another, less destructive behavior? Or try a football mouth guard? Have you spoken to your paed or early intervention?
Hi, unfortunately we don't produce these ourselves. It sounds like a great idea though. Here's a link to the contact form of the manufacturer, you could shoot them a message with your suggestion? Thanks :)
Don't know if you manufacture these yourself or if you are just stocking someone elses product, but there is a gap in the market for chewable necklaces aimed at boys.
I have a four year old son on the autism spectrum who has considerable sensory processing difficulties, which results in him constantly seeking out things to chew on to calm and relax him, however I have struggled to find a product suitable for him (i.e. something that wouldn't appear girl-ish or baby-ish).
