Take The ACE Quiz — And Learn What It Does And Doesn't Mean
Quote:There’s a score to quantify childhood trauma. Some health experts want you to know yours.
Even with a pandemic raging, Nadine Burke Harris, a pediatrician who is serving as the first state surgeon general of California, set a goal that had nothing to do with the coronavirus: training 20,000 medical professionals in her state in a kind of health assessment known as the ACEs score.
ACEs stands for adverse childhood experiences. A person’s score is typically a tally of how many of 10 such traumas — specific kinds of abuse, neglect or household challenges — they suffered before the age of 18.
Proponents of the measure, which was developed in the late 1990s, say a patient’s ACEs score is important to know, because adverse childhood experiences can be linked to widespread negative adult health outcomes, such as asthma, cancer, depression, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

I scored a 0. I was exceptionally lucky as a kid. Great family. Funny mother, wonderful father. Nutty brothers. We all had a great sense of humor, well..... except for my sister.... but the rest of us are a fun bunch. All non religious.....except for my sister.

Thanks, but don't be, brotha. I'm happy with who I am as an adult and I wouldn't be standing right here without each step leading this way. Even the rough stuff. Just to be clear, there was no abuse from my family, and I always felt loved, nurtured, and protected.
And rather than dwell on yesterday or worry about tomorrow, I'm very happy living here, now, today.

I seriously need to adopt that attitude, not sure why I can't but respect is due my friend.

Zero.
Now I feel neglected.

A duck for me.
I had a safe and secure upbringing, with obvious love from both parents.
I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.

It's what works for me. No telling who else it will work for, because we're all unique.
