Eight-month-old constantly flapping arms and getting overstimulated, anyone experienced similar?

As the title suggests, for the last month my 8 month old has started to constantly flap his arms when sat up, seems to do it whether he’s happy, sad or frustrated. Just wondering if anyone had any similar experience as when I googled it mentioned early sign of Austim.

He also seems to get very easily stimulated when out and about, again flapping arms and shrieking loudly. I know these things are normal at this stage it’s just the frequency and then after the google search I’ve gone into overthinking mode.
when attending baby groups of babies with similar ages I don’t notice other babies doing it a lot
