CAT-Q Assessment (Social Camouflaging)
The CAT-Q (Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire) Assessment is a 25-question screening tool that measures the extent to which individuals use camouflaging strategies to mask or hide their autistic traits during social interactions. It assesses three key dimensions: Compensation (using strategies to overcome social difficulties), Masking (hiding autistic behaviors), and Assimilation (trying to fit in with neurotypical social norms). This assessment is particularly useful for understanding how individuals adapt their behavior in social situations, which is common among adults, especially women, who may have gone undiagnosed.

Scoring: Higher scores indicate greater use of camouflaging strategies. Scores above 100 suggest significant camouflaging behaviors that may mask underlying autistic traits
