What kind of Dog works best for Asperger's?

I am wanting to get a dog for my son. I looked up the best breeds for children and one of them is an English Bulldog. (I really like their personalities) My question is, if I can't get a therapy dog for my son, what breeds are good for kids with Aspergers?
