A self reflection tool for adults noticing how they may prepare, monitor, suppress, perform, recover, or feel strain in social and everyday settings.
The Masking and Camouflaging Reflection Tool is an original NeuroType self reflection tool with 24 items across 6 areas. It is not the CAT Q, not validated, and not diagnostic.
The tool is grouped into six reflection areas. Each area is short and focused. Together, they show where you may adjust, suppress, prepare, perform, recover, or feel strain across social and everyday settings.
Social preparation
Reflection around planning, rehearsing, or preparing for interactions before they happen.
Self monitoring
Reflection around tracking tone, facial expression, body language, or wording during interactions.
Suppression
Reflection around holding back natural reactions, movements, interests, needs, or communication style.
Social performance
Reflection around appearing more comfortable, confident, agreeable, or socially fluent than you feel.
Recovery after interaction
Reflection around tiredness, decompression, replaying events, or needing quiet after social effort.
Identity strain
Reflection around feeling distant from your natural self or unsure which version of you is expected.
