Wondering what your social effort looks like across different situations? The CAT-Q Camouflaging Autistic Traits Workbook gives adults a paper-based way to answer the 25-item questionnaire and consider reported masking, compensation, and assimilation strategies. Its score is a reflection point, not a verdict: the CAT-Q does not establish whether someone is autistic, why they camouflage, or how tiring it feels.
The pack contains 34 pages across nine PDFs in both A4 and US Letter. Measures includes the questionnaire, scoring sheets, reverse-key instructions, and a worked example. Twelve worksheets help map contexts and strategies, consider costs and benefits, plan recovery, and prepare an optional small step or conversation. Five tracker pages include score history, weekly logs, and a monthly overview. The Quick-Reference PDF has score limits and cut-out reminder cards; the three-page Guide explains what scores can and cannot say. A two-page Professional Guide and one-page Credits and References complete the set.
Use the Start Here path to begin with the questionnaire and first score, then take the worksheets at a pace that feels manageable over six weeks. Track notes and repeat scores a few weeks apart if you choose; repeated copies of marked pages can support that. You finish with a personal record of reported strategies, contexts, reflections, and possible next steps to bring to a conversation with a qualified professional if useful.
What you get
- Measures pages provide all 25 CAT-Q items, reverse-key instructions, scoring sheets, and a worked example.
- Map social contexts and strategies with Worksheets 2 to 4, then reflect on costs and benefits in Worksheets 6 and 7.
- Plan recovery after demanding social events with Worksheet 8 and the Quick-Reference social event card.
- Track dates and reported scores with five tracker pages, including score history, weekly logs, and a monthly overview.
- Read the three-page Guide and keep cut-out reminders nearby when reviewing what your score can and cannot say.
What it is not
For educational self-reflection only, not diagnosis or treatment. The CAT-Q instrument and its items remain the property of its authors; professionals may reuse client-facing pages with clients, while group, classroom, and institutional licenses are separate products.
Questions people ask
How do I score the CAT-Q in this workbook?
Answer the 25 items using the printed response scale, then follow the scoring sheets and reverse-key instructions. The Measures PDF includes a worked example. The total ranges from 25 to 175, with subscales for Compensation, Masking, and Assimilation; the pack states there are no validated cutoffs or score bands.
Can I print the CAT-Q workbook on A4 or US Letter paper?
Yes. The workbook files are PDFs provided in both A4 and US Letter sizes. The pack contains 34 pages across nine PDFs, including the questionnaire, worksheets, trackers, quick-reference cards, guides, and credits.
How often should I repeat the CAT-Q?
The Start Here path suggests spacing repeat test dates at least a few weeks apart, and the Professional Guide also advises a few weeks between administrations. Repeating is optional. The score history tracker lets you record dates and review reported scores over time.
