if someone never makes eye contact anyway their rocking is insignificant information about whether you have their attention

Which way? Is the stimming more likely when you have their attention or when you don't?

I'm not sure. Naively on priors, someone under stress is more likely to stim - and someone who's paying attention to another thing is more likely to be under stress.
