Social camouflaging behaviors
(CAT-Q)
It takes a lot for us to reflect and explore aspects of ourselves. We applaud your curiosity and courage.
Who is this screener for?
This screener is called the CAT-Q and it is one of several different autism screeners. It can help in determining if autism support or treatment may be beneficial to you and/or how to proceed regarding an evaluation or diagnosis. The CAT-Q measures camouflaging behaviors in adults who may have been missed for an autism diagnosis because of their ability to mask their autistic traits. Click here to learn more about autism.
You will see 3 categories with a score for each category, and then a total score. Below your score, you will find more information regarding your total score and suggestions for next steps.
The results of these screeners are not an indicator of who you are or the complete picture; it is simply a first step in exploring.
How to complete the screener:
Carefully read each question and choose an answer that you feel is the best fit for yourself. This screener has 25 multiple-choice questions. Once you’ve answered all questions, click Results to see more information.
