Aw thanks so much!!!! That really helps:)
I don't eat things other than food, but I pretty much compulsively chew on things. I have sensory processing disorder, so I fidget and chew gum, etc. because I need alot of tactile input. I really love strong fruity-tasting gum, and also I have a waterbottle from costco with a chewy lid. Definitely talk to your pediatrician if you want to actually consume things, but otherwise there are tons of coping strategies to use.
