Discovering Autism and the Comorbidities
Kimberly Kitzerow developed a systems-based model that provides a new way to understand neurodivergence, including how to support neurodivergent learners and why autism and comorbid traits cluster, as she identified a chronologically ordered biochemical cascade underlying these relationships.
Identified through the Jigsaw Puzzle Methodology by mapping autism biomarkers onto a biochemical network of gene-coded proteins and identifying biologically constrained patterns of dysregulation.

The cascade organizes how stress-response domain activation shifts biological priorities over time, including BH4-mediated resource allocation, BioDial-regulated timing changes, and patterned autism and comorbid trait clustering.
Regulatory Domain Activation
Genetic, chronic, or situational durations of regulatory system domain activation shift resources.
2BH4 Resource Reallocation
The BH4 Shunt reallocates biological resources toward stress regulation and adaptive pathway activity.
3BioDial Deprioritization
Temporally regulated development and function are deprioritized as resources shift.
4Trait Clustering
Duration, pathway shifts, and accumulated wear influence autism and comorbid trait clustering.
BioToggle® and NeuroToggle®
The discovery branches into two applied frameworks: BioToggle® for regulatory system domains and comorbid trait clustering, and NeuroToggle® for autism-related skills and behaviors.
BioToggle®
BioToggle® is a systems-based educational framework outlining the epigenetic regulation of gene expression and protein synthesis through regulatory system activation and temporal system domain regulation in relation to neurodivergence and comorbid trait clustering.
- Five regulatory stress-response domains
- BH4 Shunt-mediated resource reallocation and epigenetically regulated redox-sensitive protein shunts
- BioDial disruption impacting development and function
- Autism and comorbid trait clustering
NeuroToggle®
NeuroToggle® is a neuroplasticity-based pedagogy that connects teaching strategies to the building, strengthening, expansion, and timing of neural pathways that encode the memories responsible for producing skills and behaviors.
- Identify the skill, behavior, or access point
- Define the circuit target: build, strengthen, expand, or time
- Apply teaching strategies based on that circuit target
- Refine instruction using learning and performance outcomes
