It sparked a really interesting (or at least I hope it was!) conversation about the difference between social anxiety and introversion vs being autistic. Remember that CAT-Q scores can be higher for neurotypical people who have reduced well-being and social anxiety. If you have any concerns about your mental health, please see a medical professional, such as your GP.
