Have you taken the ACES test? I thought it was a great eye opener. At least it was for me.

Just did, didn't cover anything relating to my issues. I scored a 1, and that's only because "Was a household member depressed or mentally ill" fits me.

I'm glad I've never taken it before because I definitely would've interpreted it as a sign that I didn't really experience anything bad and that I'm just so bad at everything I can't function in even a normal environment. At least now I can stand up for myself and say that's not true. Still sucks to feel unseen by a test whose name claims to be general.

On the ACES assessment, every single one of the 10 things asked about is known to cause neurological issues in children which persist throughout their lives. Only a 0 is insignificant. A 1 is very significant. I also scored "low" and thought it didn't mean anything, but I've since learned every single one means a lot.

I scored an eight and while I don't let it define me, it has been helpful for some stuff.
