Unpleasant and distressing for a normal child - how much moreso for an autistic one?

You clearly have no concept of special needs education! If the school didn't have a strategy for dealing with such eventualites then clearly it was also negligent. There are policies and procedures for dealing with children like these - shutting them in rooms all on their own isn't one of them!
