If the trashcan had junk in it, then the psychological trauma would greatly increase (at least for me.)
How would you like it if you got placed head first into waste that includes maybe chewed gum and discarded food, not to mention the other horrid things that could be in there? What about the potential pens and pencils that could inflict rather serious injury?

Good point. At my public schools, at least, most of the classroom trashcans were almost as bad as the lunchroom trashcans. Hall trashcans were pristine because nobody used them except for paper and the odd softdrink can (the precursor to juice boxes).

Grabbing someone, is assault. Yes it can be worse if there are sharp implements about, yet it's still assault either way.

Even more disturbing is the reasoning, that the child is like "Oscar the grouch", on the basis of what exactly? And how does that permit the assault? This is also after coming to the teacher for help.

They need more training on autism by going back to school or reading books
