Patrick, I think we may have both philosophical differences and semantic differences. I don't think of PTSD as something that can be "contracted;" I think of it as a rather unfortunate DSM diagnosis that is not particularly helpful. Nor do I think of myself or other survivors of childhood trauma as "ACE victims" There is much evidence that the vast majority of those of us who have been given psychiatric diagnoses of any kind are trauma survivors, not just people labeled with PTSD. So I don't find the label itself very useful.
I was recently part of a research team that conducted a 5-year, multi-state study of jail diversion programs expressly for veterans with trauma histories. One of the findings (which is in line with the findings of other studies) is that the vast majority about 90%) of veterans who participated in the study had experienced multiple traumatic events before age 18, in addition to traumatic experiences during their military service (which included sexual assault as well as experiences in combat).
