An ACE score is a tally of different types of abuse, neglect, and other hallmarks of a rough childhood. According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems.
Childhood Trauma & Chronic disease/illness are linked. The CDC’s Adverse Childhood Experiences Study uncovered a stunning link between childhood trauma and the chronic diseases people develop as adults, as well as social and emotional problems!
If you or your children experienced other types of toxic stress over months or years, then those would likely increase the risk of health consequences, depending on the positive childhood experiences experienced.
Take this test and see if there have been consequences.
