Measuring Camouflaging in Autism with the CAT-Q 4

CAT-Q: Complete Guide to Measuring Autism Camouflaging in 2025

The Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) is a novel tool developed to assess how individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) mask their autistic traits to adapt socially. The tool, consisting of 25 items scored on a 7-point scale, identifies tactics such as masking behaviors and compensatory strategies. Significant camouflaging correlates with mental health challenges and can hinder timely diagnosis and support. The CAT-Q aids in clinical evaluations, potentially improving autism screening accuracy, adjusting support services, and facilitating research on camouflaging behaviors.
