How do you cope with refusal of basic demands for non verbal teenagers

Just that.
it seems any demand is a trigger for lashing out, toilet, eating , drinking, bedtime.
Ive ruled out illness.

its as if DS is suddenly away of his height and weight and can physically lie down and I can’t move him or lash out and remain steadfast in his refusal despite countdowns , elongation of routines etc.
All the usual things have stopped working.

Any ideas mums out there dealing with teenagers bigger then you and just refusing and then becoming aggressive if you try and enforce it . Or any tips on just loving them along to bedtime. I’ve tried verbal prompts, sand timers, music , .
