Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) helps to see how well someone with autism can act like they don’t have it, especially around people who aren’t autistic. Just like a chameleon changes colors to fit in, some folks with autism change their behavior to blend in with others and this quiz measures just that.
What is the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q)?
The CAT-Q is a self-report assessment designed to measure the extent to which individuals with autism mask or camouflage their autistic traits in social situations.
Why is the CAT-Q important?
The CAT-Q provides insights into the coping strategies individuals with autism use to navigate social environments, contributing to a better understanding of their experiences.
How does the CAT-Q work?
The CAT-Q consists of a series of questions that assess how often a person engages in behaviors like masking their true feelings or imitating social behaviors in order to fit in.
Who can benefit from the CAT-Q?
Researchers, clinicians, and individuals on the autism spectrum can benefit from the CAT-Q’s insights, aiding in tailored support and interventions.
The Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) is a validated psychological tool designed to measure the degree and effectiveness of camouflaging strategies adopted by individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These strategies include modifying behavior, masking symptoms, or mimicking social norms to blend into neurotypical settings.
The CAT-Q operates like a guide, asking critical questions about a person’s behavior. It’s all about spotting those moments when someone with autism might try to blend in.
CAT-Q is a bit like a detective, searching for those camouflaging tactics that might otherwise go unnoticed.
