She does chew as her stim. She used to have chewy necklaces (we have a lot of them) but I think someone made fun of her for it and now she won't chew a necklace. She chews her shirts. They all have gaping holes in the neckline.
Here is the link in case you want to try these
http://kidcompanions.com/ they are awesome. I got my son who is 9 with Asperger's one of the round ones and my daughter (6 year old classic autism) a pink heart. They are also a fidget toy, the hearts have a little spot that their finger fits into and they can rub. It comes in a break away necklace and there is also a clip on strap....I think the necklace is more socially acceptable. I wish I had one of these when I was a kid and I have been toying with the idea of getting myself one because I totally destroy my nails and the skin around my nails.
Also they ship anywhere. I got my daughters on Amazon and sent it to my Mom and she shipped it to me. I found the site and it cost far less to buy my sons.....it was 20 euro including shipping. They are a Canadian store.
