Reply to "ACEs, communication issues and disability"

As a mom of two boys who were diagnosed with autism - and now ~ 20 years later - are doing great - I would say Y.E.S.!

The social isolation, the bullying, the internal frustration they have due to difficultly effectively communicating - which exacerbates social isolation - compounded by (usually) a lack of adult understanding regarding how easy it is for other students to sort of "trick" our literal kids into doing things that they shouldn't .... all of which contributes to further isolation.

These experiences during childhood lead to real physiological stress responses - which is also how "trauma" impacts the body and the brain. So in my opinion, YES!
