No, not necessarily. Rocking back and forth alone is not an indication of autism, neurotypical people can rock back and forth too! It can be a characteristic of autism known as 'stimming' which is repetitive self-stimulation, it's a means of controlling sensory input to reduce sensitivity to surrounding sensory input.
Rocking the car back and forth may help the car's fuel pump to pick up residual fuel and deliver it to the engine. This can sometimes be enough to give the engine the boost it needs to start. However, this is likely a sign of an issue with the fuel system, such as a failing fuel pump or clogged fuel filter, that should be addressed to prevent further problems.
Rocking back and forth could be a sign of stress, anxiety, or discomfort in dogs.

Truthfully, it means nothing but the child is bored, or on occasion, the child must use the bathroom. Some people scare themselves saying that he may have a defect or something unusual, but it's nothing. Not really, it is something, but nothing to be concerned about negatively. I did post this under "discussion" as this is the first post I did and then copy and pasted it here as this is where I meant to post it. So this is what I posted in Discussion to this question. I have been rocking for 40 years now. The answer is very simple. It is a comforting action. I has nothing to do with not holding your child long enough when was a baby. Or some kind of mental or a physical problem the child could have that result in the child rocking. Like I said I have been doing it for 40 years. I have had 40 years of emotional experiences; I have rocked through all of them. Happy, sad, excited, depressed, anger, and well you get the idea of 40 years of emotional experiences. Rocking has improved all those experiences in a positive way for me over the years. When I am sad it makes me feel better, did not solve for me the reasons I am sad, but made me feel better all the same. When angered or excited it calms me. So it short when negative or even positive things are there I rock when I sit down and it helps, it comforts me. The good things that happen to me I also rock. When happy or good things happen it feels right to rock back and forth and gives me a feeling of pleasurable ease, well-being, and contentment.There has only been one bad thing about rocking. It is what other people have thought about me do to seeing me rock or finding out that I rock. Think of this, you may be hiking on a trail in a forest, most likely you will not see a deer. The deer hear you and are well out of sight before get to where they were. However, if you see a deer you are not all that surprise of the fact to see a deer in a forest, are you? I must admit when I see my reflection in a window or on the TV screen, or what not, I look like a complete idiot, and I know this. I do understand why people can get a negative or concerned reactions to see others rock. It is not like there is so many people out there that when you do see someone rock it is as normal as seeing a deer in a forest, is it? Like a deer the people who do rock will hide this fact to all people the best they can.I still rock after 40 years, but only when I am around people I trust not to judge me for rocking, my wife and children. Now you said, "What does it mean when a child rocks back and forth while setting?". Find out what happen to your child that day by talking to them. Do not address them why they are rocking, but find out there day. Find out what they need comfort for, or why they feel good about. Then you know why they are rocking. It is a self comforting tool I have used before I knew what rocking did for me. Who does not like to be comforted? A condition or feeling of pleasurable ease, well-being, and contentment, well sign me up for more of that. That is why I rock back and forth sitting and standing, sometimes. I believe that is why your child rocks too.

make a v with your index and middle finger (like legs) - the rest of the fingers are curled back on your left hand, swing the "legs" from your wrist to your fingers, back and forth (at least that's how I learned it)

Hand clenching alone is not a sign of Autism, it certainly wouldn't be included in a diagnosis. An Autistic person may clench their hands as a means of stimming - self-stimulation to calm themselves.
To sign "goodbye" in American Sign Language, you can wave your hand back and forth in front of your body with your palm facing outward.
No, throwing things is not part of autism - autism is a neurological difference, there is nothing about autism that would cause throwing things. Of course Autistic people may throw things for any number of reasons, it's just that autism isn't the cause of this.
