How much effort you spend acting typical, and the crash after.
Masking is rehearsing, copying, and suppressing so you pass as typical. It is common in autistic and AuDHD adults, especially those missed in childhood. This screen is about effort and cost, not about whether you should stop. Short is eight items.

This free screening takes about 3 min and includes 16 questions. Results are instant and stay on your device unless you choose to share them. It is an informal tool for self-reflection — not a diagnosis, licence, or medical report.
Score bands used on this page: Little camouflage (0–16): You do not spend much of the day acting a second self on this set. Some camouflage (17–32): You edit yourself in some rooms. That is common and not a diagnosis. Heavy camouflage (33–48): A lot of energy is going into passing. The crash items matter as much as the acting items. Constant camouflage (49–64): The mask is the main job. This pattern shows up in late-identified autism and AuDHD. Still not a diagnosis.
Read the matched band and any insights or recommendations on the results screen first. If a score suggests a concern (mood, attention, sleep, or safety), talk with a GP or qualified clinician — bring a screenshot of your results as a conversation starter.
For skill-style quizzes (memory, focus, reasoning), pair this questionnaire with the interactive brain games on this site: reaction time, digit span, Stroop, and the Full Brain Test give timed practice that questionnaires cannot.
Retake after meaningful change — better sleep, a new routine, or therapy — not every day. Frequent retests mostly measure mood-of-the-moment noise.

Self-report tools can under- or over-estimate symptoms depending on insight, culture, and stress that day. They are best as a structured checklist, not a verdict.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately — do not wait on a quiz score.
