@mengchuanlai.bsky.socialNew paper alert! We summarise current knowledge on how to use the CAT-Q in research and clinical settings, and offer recommendations on what (not) to do, as well as priorities for future research. 1/4
Show PostKey takeaways: The CAT-Q was developed as a research tool but doesn't capture all aspects of camouflaging; more tools and better evaluations of them are needed for research purposes. 2/4
Show PostIn clinical settings, the CAT-Q may be useful as a starting point for discussions about masking. But it should not be used to determine whether or not someone is autistic, or as an outcome to evaluate interventions. 3/4
Show PostMasking varies so much between and within people - and we still don't know how masking of autism interacts with other aspects of identity. Understanding each individual's experience of masking is the best way to support them. 4/4
Show Post🎉 Shoutout to @mengchuanlai.bsky.social and his team for landing an awesome new grant titled, "Recalibrating Autism Measures for Sex and Gender Equity" It's a stellar project on advancing the rigor and inclusivity of autism assessments and I'm excited to partner with them as Co-I. Congrats!
