Clinical Note

A higher CAT-Q score can reflect camouflaging, compensation, social learning, and adaptation in social contexts.

This questionnaire is not, by itself, a diagnostic instrument. Scores should be interpreted in context with developmental history, sensory profile, anxiety, trauma, and lived experience.

Reverse-scored items on this page: 3, 12, 19, 22, and 24.
