Some websites portend that as ADHD (can) create low impulse control there is cross correlation in this feature. A sociopath doesn't have the impulse control or capacity for forward planning and just acts on thinking. Coupled with this a sociopath does not have a conscience, feelings of guilt or remorse (they could kill their own child without any emotional disturbance if this so suited them). They have an underlying need for power and feeding of this ego and despite not attaching to surrounding people, they can enjoy a persons company and are inevitably very charming, charismatic people.

An ADHD person on the other hand does care about other people just like everybody else. In fact for some ADHD people, as their frontal lobes are firing so much faster than the typical brain it can make some very sensitive to their environments and the people around them so they are very aware of how others feel creating above average empathy levels, as opposed to a sociopath who has no empathy.

So if an ADHD child was severely neglected and not taught social protocols it is possible that their poor impulse control could lead them into a world where they were just acting on their own behalf, deviate into violent behaviors as acting out of boredom, restlessness and/or acting out behaviors they have witnessed (as a coping mechanism).
