My toddler puts everything in his mouth. I thought they outgrow it somewhat by now and am figuring it’s a sensory thing. Does anyone have more info or tips to help him get his sensory needs filled without sticking dangerous things in his mouth?

That's totally normal! Just make sure to remove anything harmful from his reach.

Look up chewy necklace on amazon. Just don't let him sleep with it. It really helps reduce the need to mouth everything.

Bump. I think he’s too old for a necklace. Can’t imagine him sticking with it much.

Toddler proof the house, and keep redirecting him to appropriate chewy toys. You'll have to keep a close eye on him, and possibly gate off a few rooms.
DD is 16, and she still likes to chew stuff. She has a few chewies in her pocket and uses them when she has extreme anxiety, usually during a test. Super sensory kiddo.
She is not on the ASD spectrum BTW, she just really likes to chew on different textures. When she was little, the only way I could get her to eat vegetables and certain fruits, was if they were frozen. I'd put them in a cup and she's eat them like popcorn. She hated them cooked or thawed in any way. She's still kind of like that, but slowly eating more "grown up food."
