Your son can gain self worth from being adored by his pet. If you have a dog park in your county it might be an area for socialization for the pet and your son. My children have grown and are finding their way in this world, but my Portuguese Water Dog (non-shedding), Gus, will be with me till death do us part. (Thankfully, my wife loves me too).

Thank you for your response. We actually have 2 dogs and 3 cats. What's really neat is that our chocolate lab sleeps with my son. Before that our husky/shepherd mix dog also sleep with my son. They say dogs can sense something and maybe they sense his needs or epilepsy. I don't know. We have trails behind our property and we go and take the dogs for walks and let them run free. I try to get my son out as much as possible, but he would rather play video games 24/7. We have restriction on the games so he doesn't get his way. I also tried camps, baseball, football, etc. He can't seem to hold on to any social activity. For example, if he doesn't get a hit whenever he goes up to bat, he gets angry and cries. He's like a sore loser but he isn't. It's weird. We never push for our children to be the best. We always say have fun and try and the word "perfect" is not in our family vocabulary. It seems we have tried a lot of things without success. Thanks again for your suggestion.
