Read the Kazdin Method. You reinforce behavior through positive reinforcement. If your child pets the dog, you praise your child.
Try also time in with your kid. At least 15 minutes a day of doing what he wants to play. Your kid's trying to get your attention and he's getting it even if it's negative.
I do This all this. Going mad.
It isn't working for your kid. Try a different method than P+. Kids don't read parenting books, you need to adjust to your child. If it doesn't work, scrap it an and do something else. --poster who suggested positive and negative reinforcement

The book Parenting the Strong Willed Child by Rex Forehand changed my life. I highly recommend it.

Is something happening at school or home (even with you where he is picking up the stress) and acting out? Also, we have had growth spurts (child is also developmentally delayed) where things get worse for a while and then everything improves and gets much better. Hang in there. 5 is a rough age.

He needs constant supervision and immediate consequences when he does something. If he pours water out of the bath, you rinse him and take him out. If he hits the dog, he goes into time out (even if it takes 2 hours the first dozen or so times - nanny style). Its best to catch them before they do it and redirect but that is not always possible and he needs consequences. You may want to try ABA.

A lot of people speak highly of this approach and workshops.

No is just a word. You need repercussions that go along with no to make it meaningful.
Maybe you are going too positive and he doesn't feel there are any reasons to listen to you.
Positive reinforcement is great but honestly I find a mix of mostly positive and the rare but clear negative is much more effective.

Anecdotally, since I'm not a psychologist or therapist. I am in close contact with two young children on the spectrum, and they do not react to a verbal "no", but instead need lots of physical, touch, guidance. Other posters will likely have more in-depth knowledge.

Also before someone chimes in I tell him what to do, do time in, positive reinforcement and try to be calm and loving.
