Now add up your “Yes” answers in Questions 1-10. This is your "Official ACE Score."
Add up your answers in 11-15 and add to your ACE Score to get an "Unofficial ACE Score" and to see the reality of your childhood. 

What is my "Offical ACE Score?" 5 
What is my "Unofficial ACE Score?" 7 ​

Knowing this number is not a life sentence, nor does it define you in any way.  I use it as a place to start working with clients. A way to know what they are predisposed to and so I can help them to understand that their symptoms are a product of their childhood, NOT WHO THEY ARE!!!!
