Flexion, extension/hyperextension, trabsverse horizontal abduction, circumduction.

If you think about the movements that you can do at your shoulder, you can figure this question out yourself. When in the anatomical position, we can perform flexion and extension,the forward and backward (respectively) movements of our arm at the shoulder joint. There is also abduction and adduction, which is the movement of rising our arm out to our sides, away from our body (abduction) and towards our body (adduction). Finally, there is also medial rotation and lateral rotation of the shoulder joint, in which we rotate the head of humerus in the shoulder-joint cavity (glenoid cavity). You may hear the combined movements of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction referred to as circumduction.

Are unusual bowel movements a symptom of Asperger's Syndrome?

A bowel movement means you excreted feces through the large intestine. And because everyone has bowel movements, it can't be a symptom of Asperger's Syndrome. CLARIFICATION by Parker Gabriel, person with AS: Even though the human abdomen does have a nervous system all its own, which sometimes operates independently of the main one centrally clustered in the brain, colonic elimination of solid body wastes ultimately has nothing whatsoever to do with brain function. Additional Comment: Parents of children with Asperger's Syndrome often notice unusual bowel movement symptoms (e.g., chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation) in those children. The child could have chronic diarrhea or chronic constipation for years, despite being given the typical treatments for those problems. The reason for unusual bowel movements in children with Asperger's Syndrome is not known.
