Repetitive behaviour/Stimming

Oh boy where do I start
Damo (5 years old) will jump, flick his ears (when he isn't wearing his hearing aids), spin objects or himself, shake his head, facial movements, flap or shake his hands/arms, make noises like a car tyres screeching and other noises I can't describe right now, hit or bite himself (I HATE that), if lying on floor his feet are constantly moving kinda like flapping, head bangs, rocks.
Hm that is all I can think of right now and his early intervention teacher said he is NOT autistic

Man, where do I start?

Toe-walking (When I have no shoes on)
Flicking my had from side to side
Leg bouncing
Repeatedly tying and untying the same knot in an electrical cord. (I can't tell you how many headphones I go through)
When confused, annoyed and extremely frustrated, spinning in circles.
Opening/closing everything that will open/close
Fiddling with everything in sight
Chewing on small pieces of plastic, the ends of pens/pencils, staples, etc.

And anything else the situation may call for.
