How You Can Advocate for Neurodivergent Biochemistry

There are three simple ways to support this work:

1. Sign the petitions below to increase awareness and encourage institutional review.

2. Send a stock email to any educator, researcher, clinician, legislator, or organization you want to inform.

3. Share this information on social media so more people learn about the gaps in research and evaluation.

These actions help bring attention to issues that affect many autistic and nonspeaking individuals.

Petition 1: Petition to Establish Neurodivergent Biochemistry

This petition asks Stanford to review the Neurodivergent Biochemistry framework, which synthesizes existing research across biochemistry, neuroscience, genetics, and education. The goal is academic review and open dialogue to establish this field.

Petition 2: Require Evaluation of Speech-Motor Pathways in Nonspeaking Individuals

This petition calls for routine testing of the full speech-motor system in individuals who cannot speak. This includes the corticobulbar tract, cranial nerves involved in speech, neuromuscular pathways, and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN).

This type of assessment has never been done for nonspeaking individuals.

Advocacy Letter to Raise Awareness

Subject: Request for Support and Awareness of Emerging Work in Neurodivergent Biochemistry

Dear [Recipient Name],

I am writing to share the work of Kimberly Kitzerow, an educator who specializes in synthesizing existing scientific and educational research related to neurodivergence. Her work brings together findings from biochemistry, neuroscience, genetics, and special education to clarify how autism and its systemic comorbidities may be linked through shared biological mechanisms.

Kimberly’s contributions focus on connecting established research, not producing new experimental data. Through her interdisciplinary synthesis, she collaborates with educators, clinicians, and researchers to translate complex scientific literature into coherent models that improve our understanding of neurodivergence. Her work highlights overlooked patterns in redox biology, neurotransmitter regulation, stress responses, and speech-motor pathways that affect autistic individuals.

One of her primary contributions is a model known as Neurodivergent Biochemistry. This framework organizes existing research into a functional explanation that helps clarify why certain traits and health challenges often cluster together in autism and other forms of neurodivergence. It has gained wide public attention due to its clarity, accessibility, and strong grounding in published scientific evidence. Many families, educators, and professionals are already using her materials to strengthen their understanding of how systemic factors contribute to neurodivergence.

I encourage your office to review her publicly available work and consider supporting broader dialogue, recognition, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Her research synthesis bridges gaps between education and biology and offers valuable insight for improving outcomes for autistic individuals.
