Question if there is more socially acceptable ways to show repetitive behaviors

What are more society acceptable way to show repetitive behaviors if I need the argue to stimulate myself?

Because when I show abnormal and intense repetitive behaviors to deal with stress and motor issues on my hands, my classmate who is also in special education, kept asking if I was okay, and I was about to tell him that I have Autism Spectrum Disorder, and tell him to go away.

What should I have done so that situation doesn't happen again?
 
I find running and walking to be the most natural stims. As far as what you could use in a classroom, talk to someone at the school to find what would be an acceptable stim. Someone please let me know if this classroom suggestion is naive.

Thank you!
 
I use stim toys in public, like stress balls, those Pop It things, etc. A lot of allistic people think they're "fun" and use them, so they don't think much of it.

I am worried that I might have to use those toys that them, have sensory issues, feeling that I need to touch every objects, just to control my stereotypical behaviors. Having Autism Spectrum Disorder is annoying, I am sorry to say.
