Stimming helps autistic people. Refraining from stimming leads to increased anxiety in autism [1].
It can very well be the case that it does not help any allistic people, I'm not familiar with the literature in that regard. Searching for "stimming PTSD" in google scholar does not bring up any studies that look into this, so if PTSD and ASD share some common characteristics this might be worthwhile looking into.
