Usually I hardely ever stim, but now I'm constantly spinning around, wringing my hands, rocking back and forth, or my whole body trembles 
Is there anything I should do to reduce this? I know it's caused by stress, but I can't help that I'm caught in the middle of a court battle, so I can't do anything about that.

Maybe you can concentrate those stims into something else like something less noticable like maybe bring a notebook with you, every time u start stimming, grab the notebook and doodle instead, might help.

I used to stim a lot (constant like you) when I was more severely Autistic, but it hasn't happened in years!
I'll try the doodling thing, and maybe I can force my trembling feeling onto one body part?
I've also been able to rock back and forth so slightly that I can stim and nobody really realizes it.

Yea if ur whole body is trembling, maybe u need some sort of stimulation, ever try maybe carry a small weighted lap pad, or like u said maybe transfer that trembling to maybe ur leg, might be easier also.

Well, I'm not faking mine, though I know how that feels sometimes
I'm spinny today too! I was spinning and playing my DS for a half hour today.
I'm able to control it, it just hurts too, so I don't control it if I'm alone. It's very annoying sometimes (Spinning and doing homework is vitrually impossible)

I'm sure you do, you just aren't aware of it. I was ignorant of my stims. I had odd quirks, but to have called them a stim, I would have never then (before I heard of ASD ).

Yeah, I trembled a lot last year because of stress, but it wasn't at home, so I didn't think it was stimming, just stress. Now that it's happening ALL THE TIME, it's definitely stimming

I don't even know what stimming is, to be honest.

Here's a board I made to answer that question myself. I knew what it was, but couldn't really describe it to my friend for some reason.
