Hi @Mairs, welcome to the community!
Children with cerebral palsy have an increased risk of a lot of additional conditions, such as autism and epilepsy. However, ADHD is reported to be more common in children with CP than in the general population.
Recent estimates suggest that 19% of children with cerebral palsy also have ADHD.
While the full scope of the ways in which CP and ADHD interact is still being researched.
