Are the symptoms for autism and post hydrocephalus the same?

What do you mean "post" hydrocephalus? I have a daughter with hydrocephalus and autism. She was diagnosed with hydro at 11 months and had a VP shunt installed. All four ventricles were completely full. For awhile everyone just thought she was developmentally delayed because of the pressure but little by little it became apparent that she was also autistic. The formal diagnosis came at 33 months.
