Incidence of ADHD is: Increased in populations of people with any congenital or acquired neurodevelopmental disorder vs. Folks with neurotypical development. Non-verbal learning disabilities can also impact kids with congenital hydrocephalus. Proper evaluation & management is key. Public law idea mandates an early intervention program for birth-3 & a free & appropriate public education for 3-22. See hydroassoc.Org.

No: Adhd is a diagnosis of exclusion. Hydrocephalus would be the diagnosis, not adhd.
