Reading over old threads I noticed that there are a lot of people who feel the need to chew on things. I recently found this great thing called chew beads. They were made for mothers to wear for their babies to chew on and they look like necklaces. It is a good option because it is easy to disguise. Does anyone else have any chewy or other sensory soothing options (especially for in public)?
I chew on pens, plastic water cups and straws mostly. Chewing gum is too soft for me too.
Straws are mostly acceptable in public so I get a large drink with a straw, something like frappe or smoothie, and I don't bother to drink the drink quickly.
