George is a bright young man with an autism diagnosis who has some sensory-seeking behaviors. He often finds himself chewing on his nails, shirts, and sleeves, saying it helps him feel better when he’s anxious. Living in a Level 3 group home, he has made remarkable progress. Recently, he expressed interest in trying out teething necklaces made for older kids, hoping they can help save his clothes while still providing the comfort he needs.
