Why do I often see retarded people rocking back and forth, never stopping or missing a beat? Is it some sort of inner ear disorder, nervous tick, etc.?

This is the body’s natural protection or compensation for loneliness: Not being accepted by others. It occurs in anyone who is “shut out.”

Many people who are DD or mentally retarded lack sensory information or how to process it. They rock to satisfy needs not met through their other senses.

i have a brother that is mentally challenged with other problems on top of also. the reason why they rock back and forth is because they r lonely have nothin else to do feel shut out. or sometimes they dont even notice they r doing it. its like their brains not registering that their bodies moving so they dont know they r actually moving their body. my brother looks like a normal kid but u notice is mentally challenged when u sit down to have conversation with him. well i hoped i answered ur question and u understand alittle about mentally challenged people.
