Reply to "Question from a community member: Is the lack of access to diapers an ACE?"

I think it's an ACE not only for the reasons already mentioned (health and neglect of the baby/child), but also because it is both an indicator and cause of parental stress. If they can't afford diapers, there's clearly some financial stress in the household. And no parent wants their child to sit in a soiled diaper any longer than they have to, so being in that situation and hearing your baby crying to be clean and comfortable would add to a parent's stress.
