Neurodivergent Lived Experience-Informed Editorial Writing

I create disability and neurodiversity-informed editorial content that helps organizations communicate more clearly, accurately, and accessibly.

Everything that I write is designed for:
Editors • Content strategists • DEI leaders • HR teams

Purpose:
To inform, engage, and promote greater inclusion. One example of what that typically looks like is my This Magazine article, which had the following impact on the Institute of Neurodiversity (ION) Canada:

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:

Overall, I have worked with a mixture of Canadian, British, and American clients with diverse demographics and interests, including the following brands:

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.

Does my neurodivergent informed work sound like something you need?

Former clients on what it’s like publishing and editing my neurodivergent lived experience-informed writing:

Above all else, the two benefits you need to know about are reliability and subject matter that grabs the client’s and readers’ attention. After all, isn’t that basically what most clients want out of their freelancers? Overall, here is what former clients thought of my work:

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 specializes in neurodiversity training that attracts, retains, and hires 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.
