We’ve been working a lot on social skills with my son. Due to his hyperlexia and autism, we have to teach him directly about social skills concepts that develop in most kids naturally.

So to make sure we don’t miss anything important, I put together this basic social skills list. And yes, it includes a free printable cheat sheet so you can reference it at any time.

The free printable list of social skills is a great start, but there’s even more social skills activities and printables here, if you’re interested.

Here are 50 different social skills for kids:

A 33-year-old man required medical treatment at a Dublin, Ireland hospital after he repeatedly injected himself with his own semen in an unusual attempt to treat his lower-back pain.

The man, after injecting the semen in his arm, developed a subcutaneous abscess on his right arm, where he had been injecting himself on a monthly basis for 1.5 years. A radiograph also revealed an excess watery under his skin.

An intravenous antimicrobial drip to treat the problems was started immediately, but the man opted to discharge himself without allowing doctors to make an incision to drain the “local collection.”

The case was revealed in a report published by the Irish Medical Journal titled ‘Semenly’ Harmless Back Pain: An Unusual Presentation of a Subcutaneous Abscess.

Dr. Lisa Dunne of Adelaide and Meath Hospital in Tallaght was the author of the report and concluded that this was the first case of “intravenous semen injection” found in medical literature.

According to the case report by Dunne, “a physical examination of his upper and lower limbs identified a small, red papule on his right arm. He disclosed at this stage that he had been injecting his own semen as an “innovative” method of treating back pain.”

“The patient disclosed that he had intravenously injected his own semen as an innovative method to treat back pain,” according to the report.

“He had devised this “cure” independent of any medical advice. Upon further interrogation of this alternative therapy, he revealed he had injected one monthly “dose” of semen for 18 consecutive months using a hypodermic needle which had been purchased online,” according to the case report.
