This seems very high - I'd call in to question the validity of the diagnosis (these diagnoses are obviously somewhat subjective). Given that those numbers are for the total cohort, that suggests that something like a full half of the upper third of children were diagnosed with ADHD.

I agree, this is not representative of the normal population and calls the results into question.
