Not necessarily.
Asexuality refers to a lack of an inherent desire to have sex. (Not to be confused with celibacy, which is not having sex even though you desire it.) It does not necessarily imply anything about any other aspect of the person's personality.
Autism and asexuality go together more often than would be expected by chance, especially in women. However, most high functioning autistics are not asexual, and most asexuals are not autistic. Both conditions are seen in only about 1% of the population. I don't know stats for rate of autism in asexual, but I do know that about 5% of high functioning autistic women are asexual. It's less common to find an asexual autistic man. (Not that there aren't asexual men out there, but it seems to have less of a link with autism.)
Autistic people, due to their poor social skills, are more likely to be involuntarily celibate even if they do have sexual desire. Romantic relationships are tricky for anyone - they're even trickier if you have a disability affecting your social skills. But it's important to remember that being asexual is not the same as being celibate. (In fact, there are some asexuals who have sex, usually because they have a partner who wants it.)

Does a woman or man who wear a ring on the middle finger of the left hand has anything to do with asexuality?
Wearing a black ring on the middle finger of the right hand is considered a common symbol of asexuality. Some asexuals do wear a ring on the middle finger of the left hand instead. However, the number is very small, so chances are a ring on the middle finger of the left hand is unrelated to asexuality.

Rocking back and forth can be a behavior associated with autism, but it is not exclusive to autism. It can also be seen in other conditions such as sensory processing disorders or anxiety. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

It is one of the signs. That is a sensory input for children with autism that their bodies need. It can cause other health concerns if not addressed.
