Give him an incentive
instead of battle of wills?
For each day he gets up and into taxi without you hollering and being late he earns time on his phone or playing videogames

I am going to do this on Monday morning, but if he doesn't get in the taxi and refuses then he will loose his place in the school and we will be back at square one. This time though i don't have the energy to get him into another school like this and the council will put him in a mainstream school. :(
Jog my short-term memory problem; isn't this the young man with special needs? Perhaps something has made him afraid - upset him - made him fearful but he's lacking the verbal skills to explain it all to you! Could you leave just early enough to ride with him {with his schools permission} to drop him off earlier then normal so you aren't stressed and your other 2 children won't be penalized/late for their own school?
Just a suggestion, because I had to do this with one of my 'Special Needs' young boys; he'd started off the school year happy/content to get onto the bus and then suddenly it was a horrible struggle/battle for his grandmother {who was left to raise him on her own} to coax/bribe - try to get him back onto the morning bus!
Found out that her grand son was getting bullied and the bus driver was ignoring what was going on behind him --- he was one vile - ugly human being too!
