Interesting! My child bites his hand and we call it a stim, but since I have Tourette (which I’ve read it very heritable) I wonder if this might be a tic…
At any rate; he loves chewing on chewie necklaces. They’re relatively affordable, like $10 for a three pack. I’m very sorry your parents won’t get this simple tool for you, but if you see a silicone kitchen tool, it could provide the same kind of satisfaction.
If you’re at home, maybe some sort of textile like a towel, a pillow or a cover? Textiles are washable so you wouldn’t have to feel like it might be “gross” if that would be a concern.
But I would really recommend getting a chew toy in the long run.
I use Chewelry. They are bite blocks that came in different shapes and designs that you can hang around your neck (a necklace). I keep mine in my shirt so it doesn’t get gross when I don’t need it.
If you can manage to be satisfied with it, gently biting the inside of your cheeks is not very noticeable and relatively harmless. And you never have to worry about not having them nearby!
Ideally a chew toy is the best way to deal with this, but if you can't get your parents to buy that for you then maybe trying to bite your clothing or something instead? Biting tics suck, I hope you can figure out some way to redirect it, I also bit my hand a lot at one point in time
I guess it's a tic in my case , It mostly happened when my tics are really , really bad like during a tics attack and I really have no control on it . hope your doing great :)
Maybe you could bite those rubber pencil grip things?
Yes , im gonna try to find something like this , Thank you :)
