oh..........any type of rocking counts as rocking?? like, when i am waiting for my washing machine to be done turning ( i have a washing machine yay) and i push with my butt on the sink , again, again and again, i am rocking then? or when i wait for my microwave to be done, and i shift my weight from one foot to the other....wait. Now that i have written it down, i sound fairly ret*d . Why do i wait in front of my appliances?? LOL. i do rock though. yeah......i thought i didn't.....gosh. enough discoveries about myself already, i stim, i rock and i have no personality aside the female AS traits...wtf.

Yep, welcome to the wonderful world of autism, population 1.

every day is a new discovery of how I'm just purely an aspie....
and now my slow rocking side to side is added to the list.

I find it surprising too. The more I learn about Asperger's Syndrome, the more is explained about me. Oddity becomes understanding.

Does bouncing your knee or tapping your foot count as rocking?

i don't know what it is called that ultra-orthodox worshippers at the wailing wall do, i.e., vigorous rocking forwards and backwards of their heads/torsos- but i do something similar to that, when i am drowsy or uncomfortable for any reason.

That is referred to in English as "davening" from the Yiddish davnen. Davening refers to both the motion and the act of praying as such.

thank you for that little gem of info.
