Weird question

[sserafim]

This is a weird question but does anyone else bite their toothbrush? Is this like an autistic sensory stim thing? I also chew a lot of gum. By the way, I'm pretty sure that I have an overbite and that my jaw is receding…

You mean when brushing your teeth?

bite their toothbrush?

Yeah lol

I have on occasion while brushing my teeth. Don't believe it has anything to do with autism, though, as I don't have it. Could have multiple reasons, though, different reasons for different people. I used a pacifier when I was a child.

Yeah lol

No. But I used to bite the water out of my soaked washcloth or facecloth round about at the time when I was in elementary school.

What could be the reasons? My mom gets mad at me for chewing up my toothbrushes and having to replace them so often but it's like an urge that I get

@sserafim Lol thanks for the "Informative". I don't know why I did it.

I'm pretty sure that I have an overbite

@sserafim I have one as well so maybe there is a link indeed.

Biting your toothbrush is normal and is common even amongst those who don't suffer from autism.

Haha, you are funny. No, I never did that. But as a kid I always swallowed all the tooth paste after brushing. I wonder if that messed me up in some way with the flouride and so on.

Anyway, I think overbite is mostly genetic. It is more common among people of East Asian descent.

These are far-reaching conclusions.

I don't know if you're autistic or not, but this type of behavior doesn't necessarily have anything to do with autism. I think so.

I'm clinically diagnosed with Asperger's aka autism level 1

I understand.

Honestly, I don't know much about autism.
Maybe I have it and I don't even know. Who knows.
