I notice a lot of the nail biting on here! interesting trick with the hand sanitizer Mungo (very cool name- my parents had that picked out for me!) and So_Calvin (btw my mom knew Bill Waterson- creator Calvin and Hobbes- from high school! I think calvin picks up alot of ADHD traits. there’s one where he is zoning out and Ms. Wormwood snaps the ruler down and he says ‘sorry my eyes were on screensaver’ perfect description!)

Has anyone had other inventive ways to help curb the nail biting? I’ve heard of tabasco sauce (ouch), to wearing mittens or gloves. I used to take up either playing with cards when fidgety, or taking up something like knitting that i could do mindlessly but still keep moving. I’ve also found in front of the tv i’ll have my laptop handy and i’ll type quietly (even if it is just typing some of the dialogue of the movie or show) or i can have it handy in case someone asks “where did i see that guy in a movie before?” I can quickly search IMDB :)
