It's about what is called "stimming"
According to wiki... stimming is
"a repetitive body movement that self-stimulates one or more senses in a regulated manner. Stimming is known in psychiatry as a "stereotypy", a continuous movement."
I rock/sway back and forth if I'm standing for more than a few minutes.. always have. I know I've got some issues... lol. But it's only standing- not sitting or anything else. I also know that my mom does too..
