You've received a great resource already. I'll just add a couple of thoughts...

1) Might he be interested in the movie Groundhog Day in which the main character keeps reliving the same day, with slightly different outcomes based upon what he learns and how he changes/improves his focus/interactions/responses? Parts of the movie may be mature but with parental guidance and meaningful discussion this could be a positive.

2) Might he be interested to set some goals and work hard to achieve them? These could be anything of interest, such as:
- reading 10 books on xyz topic. Possibly checking out books available at the local library and then rating them as to most interesting to least, and only reading the parts he likes.
- purchasing a new fruit or vegetable to taste each time he accompanies you to the grocery store or market. Possibly logging each until he has tasted all varieties available... or all red ones... etc... whatever he would like his goal to be.
Learning to add meaning to our days, developing internal locus of control, and refining a sense of direction are important life skills.

Sometimes, I think DS does get sad- he will suddenly remember something that hurt his feelings when, literally, he was three or four years old, and will become withdrawn.
Reflecting on this may provide an opportunity to discuss the value of different perspectives, as well as the priority/magnitude of a comment or event when placed among all the other interactions/comments/events in one's life. With the passage of time, revisiting old events may occur less frequently and may be triggered by a similar event in the present which may open old wounds or strike in a particularly vulnerable area. Discussing any potential parallels, seeing what may be learned, as well as introducing the concept of forgiveness, writing off bad debt, or "let it go" may all be worthwhile in helping him articulate and manage his feelings over time.
