We help you notice patterns.
Then we give them language.

Many adults reach Saraf before they have a settled word for what is happening. They may recognise exhaustion after ordinary social contact, sensory load that builds too fast, intense focus that resists interruption, or task-switching that feels physically heavy.

Saraf explains those experiences through careful educational frameworks: monotropism, masking, sensory gating, double empathy, and executive-function differences. Where the science is still developing, we say so.

Then we move from concepts to daily life: safer reflection, conversation scripts, sensory planning, workplace advocacy, and Malaysia-specific rights information for discussion with qualified professionals.

Not a diagnosis. Not screening. A literacy layer.

Help the library reach further.

The library is already free to every adult in Malaysia, so there is nothing for a partner to unlock. Saraf is not running a live programme, so there are no seats to fund.

Free to every readerEvery topic, recording and worksheet, in English and Bahasa Melayu
No live programmeNot taking participants, and no dates are set
Clear boundariesEducation and self-understanding, not diagnosis or clinical opinion
§ 03 · Research spine

Evidence-linked education.
With limits made visible.

Autism · 2005
Monotropism is presented as an attention-based account of autism and a framework for making sense of focused interests, interruption cost, and attention tunnels.
Murray, Lesser & Lawson · DOI 10.1177/1362361305051398
Disability & Society · 2012
The double empathy problem reframes some communication breakdowns as a two-way mismatch between differently socialised perspectives, not a one-sided autistic deficit.
Milton · DOI 10.1080/09687599.2012.710008
Psychological Review · 2014
Predictive-coding accounts are useful explanatory models for uncertainty and sensory experience in autism, but they remain frameworks rather than settled diagnostic tests.
Van de Cruys et al. · DOI 10.1037/a0037665

§ 06 · Questions

What you're probably wondering.

Reply-to: hello@saraf.my
Is Saraf a diagnosis?
No. Saraf is education, not medicine. It helps adults and families understand neurodivergent patterns, language, rights, and daily-life strategies. For diagnosis, see a licensed paediatrician, psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, or other qualified professional.
Why bilingual?
Because autism literacy in Malaysia is bottlenecked by English-only material. Saraf is built in English and Bahasa Melayu so adults, families, employers, educators, and support organisations can share the same language.
Who's behind Saraf?
Built by Axon Avenue PLT in Kuala Lumpur. Content is neuroscience-first, peer-cited, and versioned. Saraf currently has no clinical advisory board and does not claim one; anyone who reviews the work will be named here only after they have agreed to it.
What exactly costs money?
One thing: the Saraf Profile, RM199, a written six-domain profile generated from the battery you answer for free. The entire education library is free and is not a preview of anything paid. There is no live programme open: Saraf is not taking participants and no dates are set. Write to hello@saraf.my to hear if that changes.
Can an organisation support Saraf?
Yes, through the support page or by writing to hello@saraf.my. The library is already free, so support keeps it running and translated. It does not buy seats or access for anyone.
Do I need to create an account?
No. All 21 topics, every recording and worksheet, and all 23 simulations are open without an account, and the Profile is delivered against your payment rather than against a login. An account is only useful if you want progress tracking or want your purchase attached to something you can log back into. Sign-up is email and password. No social login dark patterns.
Data privacy?
We store account, progress, and subscription data needed to run Saraf. We do not sell learner data, and we do not share private reflections or individual learning patterns with anyone.
