waltzingwithmonsters-deactivate asked: i'm not sure if it'd be helpful in your situation but most of my stimming is oral oriented and i use a grabber XT chewing stim thing (one strong enough for adult jaws) so i don't have to chew gum all the time and resist the temptation to chew on less appropriate things; also, i know you can't eat, but can you still have boiled sweets that dissolve in the mouth? that might be quieter

I was trying sweets that dissolve in the mouth… they were dissolving, then making their way to my stomach and causing aspiration problems.  I don’t mind the sound of my own chewing – it’s just this feeling I have as if my chewing is imposing on others, because if someone else were making the sounds I was making, I would be trying not to smack them in the face, and I can’t convince myself that other people are okay with chewing noises.
