In regards to your hydrocephalus question, this website says that ADHD is a common learning disorder in children who have the condition.

Whether that is what happened in your case or not, I don’t know if anyone can say.
As far as getting a diagnosis for your daughter goes, as a teacher, I was told to suggest to parents that are concerned about ADHD that get a referral to a Developmental Pediatrician. They have a wider scope than a Psychiatrist, and can do tests to rule out conditions like anemia that can look like ADHD.
