Mask recommendations for someone with Autism?

Hey guys!
I am a complete CPAP newbie. Started with the P10 pillows for her but I am struggling with soreness/cracking around my nares.
I think I also breathe through my mouth somewhat so I am clenching my jaw because I don't want a mouth leak. Sounds really stupid, I'm sure but ugh.
What makes it even harder is the fact I have Asperger's Syndrome (form of autism), I'm not not usually sensitive to tactile input, but hearing no is sensitive, so sometimes I am messing with the mask because it doesn't "sound right" to me.

I am really thinking about switching to a mask. Resmed makes one with the magnetic straps (P20?) That looks good, but I wanted to know if people have had success with it.

My DME is being awesome by allowing me to switch if its within 30 days of purchase. So glad they offered that option.

What are the chances you can train your tongue to stay behind your teeth on the roof of your mouth? Many have done it, though how to tell if it really works all night for some is ??? except by software.

There are SO many masks out there.... look on Cpap.com (forum sponsors) for variety, reviews, pix, graphs, etc... and then ask here re any if you like the look of them. They also let you try them for a small fee x few wks (check time on website).

Not aware of any P20...much less one with magnetic clips. Were you thinking the ResMedi AirFit N20?

There is a P30i but I don't know if it has magnetic clips or not.

Can you find the mask here?

The quest for the mask that works is an important one, so I wish you well as you try some options. Meanwhile, I wanted to mention that I just got a noise machine that generates "pink noise." I had never even heard of that, but it is a bit like white noise only with a lower pitch. It is said to promote deeper sleep. I've used it just three nights, but I think I've seen a little bit of a change for the better. It's too soon to tell, though.

At any rate, I'm quite sensitive to noise myself. I do still hear the air moving through the short tube built into my P 10 pillow mask, but with a noise machine -- and especially with this pink noise -- it is much less bothersome to me. Worth trying?

I think you're talking about the full face F20 with magnets. With F20, you can go with either AirFit F20, which comes with silicone cushion, or the AirTouch F20 with memory foam cushion. Just keep in mind that memory foam will not last as long as the silicone cushion, plus it isn't washable, but they both use the same frame, which makes the cushions interchangeable. There's also F30 full face that you can look at...not available with memory foam cushion though, and only available in size small and medium.

You might do better having an oral positioner so that you aren't clenching and grinding your teeth, and that will also keep the lower half of your jaw more steady so that the sounds won't change as easily. You can buy an inexpensive "boil and bite" mouth guard at most drug stores to try out, although I always recommend checking in with your dentist to make sure you aren't setting a bad position that will cause problems in the long term. Dentists can make these for you as well.

What sound changes do you notice most? Is it leaks, vent air hitting objects, conducted noise through the hose and pillows? There are ways to deal with each to minimize the changes that catch your attention.
