CAT-Q: Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire
The CAT-Q is a 25-item self-report questionnaire that measures autistic masking and camouflaging. It looks at strategies people may use to hide, compensate for, or adapt autistic traits in social situations.
The CAT-Q is a screening tool, not a diagnosis, but your results may help you better understand your masking patterns.
Understanding Your CAT-Q ScoreHigher CAT-Q scores may reflect greater use of autistic masking or camouflaging strategies. Scores can be useful for self-reflection, but they should be interpreted alongside your broader experiences and are not diagnostic on their own.
