Its just a form of stemming, It is how he releases his feelings. Its a part of his personality.

I Figured. I love his personality. He's just recently (last couple weeks) started to move it in a more mellow sway. He says it's less distracting. He doesn't like to be teased about it. The younger kids are starting to tease too.
