I am enquiring for my 19-year-old son who received a diagnosis as a toddler but an assessment isn't reflected in his medical records. Now that he's older, he still struggles with social interactions, understanding teasing, idioms, and taking things literally. He is insecure, lacks confidence, and doesn't like leaving the home. He was bullied in school and has problems with certain foods and clothing. Is he truly autistic, and how can I get him a formal diagnosis and help that would be paid for by his medical insurance?

I have broken ribs on my right side and my left arm feels cold, numb, and tingly, with a heating sensation. It started 4 days ago, and I went to the emergency room yesterday, where I received a lidocaine patch. The patch helped with some pain. I'm concerned if the issues with my arm are related to the broken ribs or if it's something different. Should I go back to urgent care, or is this likely due to sleeping in a different position? I also have a history of back injuries from being hit by cars, and I'm currently in physical therapy for my back. Could this be related to my arm's symptoms?

I want someone else's opinion on what is wrong with me. I have been experiencing concerns for over a year and have spoken to a mental health professional. I have insomnia, less appetite due to my medications, and have been in a treatment facility twice. I am a 15-year-old female on medications for insomnia and experience cluster B personality traits. I have been on various medications including fluoxetine, concerta, trazodone, clonazepam, and am currently on vyvanse, escitalopram, and quetiapine. I have lost my sanity previously from drug use and would like to explain my symptoms without any intentions of harming myself or others.

I have experienced severe emotional and mental abuse from my ex-husband, which has led to ongoing panic attacks, flashbacks, and a significant impact on my daily life. I struggle with anxiety, chronic pain, guilt, insomnia, and social withdrawal. I am unable to take showers without triggering a panic attack due to the trauma associated with my ex-husband. I frequently feel suicidal and find it difficult to talk about my feelings. What can be done to help me cope with these ongoing issues?

I gave plasma today and immediately afterwards, my chest became sore. The soreness is towards the left side of my chest, comes and goes, and worsens with deep breathing and certain movements. I am 20 years old and currently using medications. My previous chest pain episodes were similar, but this one is worrying me since I just donated a lot of blood. What could be causing this soreness and should I be concerned?
