No, putting your hands over your ears is not part of autism or a feature of autism. Autistic people have sensory problems, meaning that they are more sensitive to sensory stimulation such as sound - an autistic person may put their hands over their ears to try to prevent themselves hearing so that their sensory issues are easier for them to cope with.
Sensory impairments refer to difficulties in processing sensory information, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. The four main types of sensory impairments are visual impairment, hearing impairment, tactile impairment (problems with touch), and olfactory impairment (loss of sense of smell).
Yes, sensory impairments refer to a range of conditions affecting the senses such as hearing loss, vision loss, or tactile sensitivities. These impairments can be caused by physical factors such as damage to the sensory organs or nerves, making them a physical disorder.
Sensory bottles can be effectively used to support individuals with autism by providing calming sensory input and promoting focus and relaxation. The visual and tactile stimulation from the bottles can help regulate emotions and reduce anxiety, making them a valuable tool for managing sensory sensitivities and promoting self-regulation in individuals with autism.
A sensory impairment team is a group of professionals who provide support and services to individuals with sensory impairments, such as hearing loss or visual impairment. The team may include audiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers of the visually impaired, and other specialists who work together to help individuals overcome challenges related to their sensory impairments.

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.
Sensory processing disorder is purely about a persons ability to process sensory input, for example they may be more sensitive to touch, light, sound, scent, or taste. Autism includes sensory processing disorder but also includes social skills problems, social communication problems, and can be comorbid with other conditions such as ADHD. There's no such thing as 'high functioning autism' this is considered an offensive term among Autistic people because it suggests some people with Autism are better than others, it is a judgement not a diagnosis or a formal standard as assessing Autism.

Potentially this could be a characteristic of autism, depending on the situation. What you describe could be a meltdown. This occurs when an autistic person is overwhelmed with sensory input or a stressful situation, they experience an uncontrolable emotional outburst such as an angry or agressive outburst.
