Probably not, but that's not what happened so this hypothetical isn't really relevant.

So in other words the cop was justified.

Imagine you're walking past a school and a cop, out of nowhere, tackles you to the ground and handcuffs you.


Which isn't what happened. The kid was asked a question first, and instead of answering acted erratically. Hence, he was being restrained until the cop was able to assess the situation and determine that he wasn't a threat.

he acted erratic because he has autism.


And the cop didn't know that. You can't use that argument because you have the benefit of knowing that beforehand while he doesn't.
