Kimberly Kitzerow
Educator specializing in data synthesis
- Helped her nonverbal autistic daughter speak using NeuroToggle.
- Organizes existing research into clear frameworks that explain neurodivergence, development, and comorbid traits.
Synthesizes data into frameworks by:
Analyzing existing raw data and research
Identifying patterns across findings
Organizing those patterns into systems
Presenting them in clear, usable structures
Neurodivergent Biochemistry
Neurodivergent Biochemistry is the overarching framework that integrates five core frameworks, each explaining how stress shapes development and function based on the type of stress, when it occurs, and how long it lasts.
BioDials
The body’s timing systems
BioDials define the biological timing of function and development.
BioToggles
The stress-response systems
BioToggles categorize regulatory system stress categories.
Duration
How long stress lasts
The longer stress lasts, the more it can shape development and function.
Autism and the Comorbidities Theory
The outcomes of the model
Autism is a lifelong category aligned with the genetic domain, while neurodivergent traits and comorbidities are shaped across the remaining categories.
NeuroToggle
The educational framework used to support development
Neural connections store how to perform skills and behaviors.
When those connections are disrupted, skill and behavior development is affected.
NeuroToggle uses neuroplasticity-based instructional strategies grounded in established teaching pedagogy to improve neural connectivity through instruction designed to:
Framework Summary
Neurodivergent Biochemistry explains how stress alters development and function over time.
BioDials define biological timing, and BioToggles categorize stress activation that disrupts it.
Autism and the Comorbidities Theory defines the outcomes of these variables, while NeuroToggle® provides the educational framework used to support development.
Autism and Comorbid Traits
Autism traits and comorbid traits arise from the same underlying processes, but affect different systems in the body. Because of that, they do not respond to the same type of support.
Educational Consulting
NeuroToggle®
- The information for how to “do” skills and behaviors is encoded in neural circuits.
- Neurodevelopmental conditions impact how those circuits form, which impacts skill and behavior development.
- Neuroplasticity targets how those circuits are built and refined.
- NeuroToggle® uses established teaching pedagogy to optimize the building, strengthening, timing, and expansion of neural circuits.
Research and Advocacy
Neurodivergent Biochemistry
- Neurodivergent Biochemistry studies how different categories and durations of stress activation alter development and function over time.
- BioToggles define the categories of stress activation.
- BioDials define the typical development and function cycles that are disrupted.
- Kitzerow’s Autism and the Comorbidities Theoretical Model defines long-term developmental and functional outcomes.
The Breakthrough and Validation
What began as Kimberly Kitzerow's effort to help her daughter speak led to the development of NeuroToggle® and the broader frameworks that followed.
-
2020 - The Problem
Kimberly’s daughter was nonverbal and unable to coordinate the motor patterns required for speech.
-
2020 - The Shift
When she could not blow out the candles on her fourth birthday cake, it revealed that the neural circuits required for coordinated speech were not functioning as intended.
-
2021 - Building NeuroToggle®
Neuroplasticity was applied to build, strengthen, time, and expand those circuits into communication. This is the foundation of NeuroToggle®.
-
2022 - The Results
Her daughter became conversational, and she began sharing their story online in the hopes of helping more children.
-
2023 – Theoretical Model
Developed the Autism and Comorbidities Model, formed Kimberly’s Educational Resources LLC, and began writing.
-
2024 – Framework Expansion
Developed Neurodivergent Biochemistry and documented the work through resources, websites, videos, and ResearchGate articles.
-
2024 – Education + Funding
Crowdfunded for Bioinformatics at UW–Madison, earned all A’s, requested support, and was told a PhD was required before assistance.
-
2025–2026 – Validation
Within months, independent research aligned with and validated the core pillars of this model at the mechanistic level.
