i am 8 and i still have it i have been hit in the head of times also i have been rushed many times i am going to have it my whole life one day i rember that when i was getting ready to go to school i colsped and got up coughing and dizzy and rushed too the hospital and i don't remeber anything besides that stay strong Veta
In fourth grade my friend went to the hospital for a routine check up and the next day her mom told my mom that he had Hydrocephalus. Although I didn't know what it was at the time seeing this now I realize how hard it must have been for everyone.
Iq is independent the brain must rewire itself to compensate, this rewiring is what.can cause delays or other problems. Equating intelligence to brain function is like saying if your keyboard is missing letters the screen must not be working because you can't see those letters appear. Ppl learn new words to compensate so that's how they have a slower type time yet are more gifted in language
Sometimes, when there is an impairment in one section of the brain, another section compensates and an ability is enhanced. This is why many geniuses and artists also have disabilities. I've seen cases of this. Blind people have had increased hearing or cognitive abilities, for example.
@buddhasknowbest I recon that's true! I have Hydrocephalus although I play guitar to a very high standard and have been told that my musical ear is incredibly defined and accurate.

Well, the speaker mentioned that people with this disease are usually suffering learning disability. So how could they have above average IQ ??
Of, course there are always some exceptions.
