[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is sensory seeking behavior. Check out discussions in the autism spectrum community for something called "Chewelry" -- jewelry that you chew. I am autistic and I used to bite myself. I could have used some chewelry like this. Kids who are doing this for sensory seeking will also sometimes gnaw on their clothing, chewing holes thorugh it etc. It is sometimes related to anxiety. [b]Is he an introvert?[/b][/quote] OP here. thank you for this. Yes, he definitely leans more introvert than extrovert. I will say they recently graduated him to a new classroom in daycare and he got a new baby brother 3 months ago. May be a combination of all that leading to anxiety? I guess it's just odd that it doesn't seem to present itself at home. Any insight on that?[/quote]
