Anything that can make him feel like part of a team or a group helps. I played sports, but what really helped me feel some acceptance was when I played guitar in youth group while I was in high school.

He fishes and hunts with me and a few of the guys on here pretty regularly. He is a good kid just from 4.5 yrs old til he was 9 he raised himself for the most part. He has been through alot. We have taken him to a counselor before and that did some good to get him to open up but he wasn't interested in doing it long term and we weren't going to force it. He plays summer baseball and did basketball but sat out this yr due to his grades.
