This an awful situation. I hope none of you have to deal with a severely autistic child (and that's what he is). He should be Institutionalized, and no longer able to attend school. Jail will do NOTHING for this kid, abd it will cost the taxpayers a fortune.
Jail serves two basic, parallel purposes: protecting society and punishing the wrongdoer.
Here, this kid cannot be "punished" because he simply lacks the neural hardware to UNDERSTAND and process the concept of punishment. As you say, jailing him will have ZERO effect upon his behavior. The other goal (protecting society) can be better-served by segregating him in an environment where he cannot hurt anyone else in the future.

Jails also became the mental institutions. Mental Institutions have gone away but prisons increased. Jail unfortunately is where he needs to be.
