Abstract
This invited commentary paper provides an argument for more detailed safeguarding of neurodivergent children. Commencing with a brief overview on safeguarding vulnerable children, it proceeds to discuss neurodiversity and neurodivergent conditions, with a focus on autism spectrum conditions (ASC), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The paper identifies the need for a more nuanced and personalised safeguarding response to young people and highlights the need for more primary research to explore the safeguarding needs of neurodivergent individuals, especially children.
