Editorial Writing, Books & Lived Experience Expertise

I create neurodiversity-informed editorial content grounded in lived experience that helps organisations communicate more clearly, accurately, and accessibly.

My work is written for editors, content strategists, DEI leaders, HR teams, publishers, and educational organisations.

Books

In addition to writing for magazines and organisations, I am also the author of two books on dyspraxia published by Bloomsbury and Jessica Kingsley Publishers:

Bright green book cover with the Bloomsbury Study Skills logo at the top in white. The title “Studying with Dyspraxia” appears in large, bold white letters at the center. The author’s name, Rosemary Richings, is printed in dark blue near the bottom. The design is simple and clear, emphasizing readability.
The book cover of Rosemary's book Stumbling Through Space and Time: Living Life With Dyspraxia. The book offers a lived experience glimpse into her neurodivergence.

Foreword writing:

I wrote the foreword for No Heels No Problem, a neurodivergent survival guide to adult life with dyspraxia and ADHD.

Topics of the book include differences in coordination, executive functioning, daily living, education, and work, as well as lived experience and practical reflection.

Book cover for No Heels, No Problem by Maxine Roper, with a foreword by Rosemary Richings. The subtitle reads ‘A Neurodivergent Survival Guide to Adult Life when you are Dyspraxic or ADHD.’ The design features bold pink and blue text on a light blue background, with a simple white line drawing of a high‑heeled shoe being kicked off.

How my work benefits organisations

I specialise in turning lived experience and evidence into practical editorial content that helps organisations communicate about neurodiversity accurately, respectfully, and accessibly.

For example, my article for This Magazine was recognised by the Neurodiversity Change Foundation and the Institute of Neurodiversity (ION) Canada for its lived-experience perspective, care, and rigour.

Social media post by the Neurodiversity Change Foundation highlighting Rosemary Richings’ article in This Magazine about overlooked experiences of women with ADHD and autism in Canada. The post emphasizes how neurodivergent girls and women are often missed, misdiagnosed, or unsupported, and notes that these issues continue to be treated with less urgency and accountability than appropriate.
Screenshot of a LinkedIn comment from Institute of Neurodiversity ION Canada congratulating Rosemary Richings on her article about gender bias in autism and ADHD conversations in Canada. The comment praises the article’s care, rigour, lived experience perspective, and focus on neurodivergent women and gender-diverse people, and expresses support for inclusion and understanding for neurodivergent people in Canada.

Clients I have worked with include:

Yellowpages a company that I produced neurodivergent lived experience informed writing for.
Uptimize, a company I have produced neurodivergent lived experience informed work for.
Lexxic a company I have produced neurodivergent lived experience informed work for.
ebay a company I have produced neurodivergent lived experience informed work for.
Saatva a company I have produced neurodivergent lived experience informed work for.


A few thoughts from my former clients:

Former clients describe my work as reliable, well-researched, and engaging:

My team had a positive experience working with Rosemary. Her article pitch was interesting, clear, and to the point, and showed a knowledge of our publication. She filed on time and was responsive to edits. Finally, when the article was published, she was happy to help promote it on social media. I would absolutely recommend working with her.

Rosemary is a delight to work with, and her work is rewarding to edit. She sets the stage well, does her research, and brings a needed perspective to the table. Her story for Medicinal Media on sensory processing issues and apps has inspired our readers, and we’re so grateful for her words and voice.

The Good Trade


Rosemary always delivers her work on time and is quick with communication. She’s a talented and professional writer whom I would recommend to any editor.

The top navigation reads “Style,” “Self,” “Home,” and “Culture,” with “the good trade” logo at top right. Two article cards are displayed. The first, dated October 22, 2021, labeled “Activism,” shows a photo of folded colorful clothing on a bed and is titled “What Disabled People Are Actually Looking For When Shopping For Clothing.” The second, dated February 28, 2020, labeled “Self,” shows two hands passing a pear and is titled “5 Essential Ways To Accommodate Disabilities At Work—Including Invisible Ones.”

Uptimize (content writing project)


Uptimize specialises in neurodiversity training that helps attract, retain, and hire people of all thinking styles.

Yet, I was hired to write resource material with an authentically neurodivergent perspective.

Overall, here are some blog posts I worked on:

Neurodiversity in Tech

How Neurodiversity Programs Improve Employee Engagement

And here is the former marketing manager of Uptimize’s impressions of my work:

Rosemary cares about her work, and it is obvious she spends time researching. When we first started working together, Uptimize was trying to elevate neurodivergent voices. We were also hoping to find someone interested in writing about neurodivergent topics. With Rosemary’s blog posts, we have successfully driven traffic to our website. If you want well-researched content on HR and neurodiversity, I would personally recommend Rosemary’s writing services.

Does my neurodivergent-informed work sound like something you need?

If you are an editor, organisation, or team looking to improve clarity, inclusion, and lived-experience accuracy in your content, I work on both editorial commissions and consulting projects.
