My son constantly chews on his clothes and blankets it is so bad he has gone threw two winter coats this year. I have two younger children that I hope to pass his clothes on to but at the rate he's chewing threw shirts and tops I won't have any.
Try the mouth guard called a Mio-munchies it is for oral sensory processing disorders such as your son may have
Peggy Hello you asked about cloths chewing for your son- I have worked with and cared for many individuals on the spectrum- in my experience the chewing bit is a sensory processing glitch in there system - it most likely stems from a nurological component. the Myo-muncie or football guard in the mouth may help- or invest in some socks and put them over his hands to chew- Has your son seen a neurologist? does he have seziures? the chewing can be a stemming thing. medicatioin' to consider for OCD explore those with your doctor- may be considered .
Kind Regards and God bless your journey

@A MyAutismTeam Member we have a chew piece for him but it doesn't help at all we have tried the positive reinforcement and all that with it too with no luck. thank you for your post though.
My daughter does the same thing so her school started her on a chew necklace that she chews on instead. The trick is getting them to use it, and they did that by an ABA based reward system and correction.
Every time she went to chew her cloths they asked her to use the necklace, and if she did they have her a preferred toy or food item. Now she just uses the necklace. It did take about a month to get that done
