Stay tuned for Cristian's work anxiety, ADHD, and the differences and misconceptions
Cristian Pannuto is a graduating senior at Darien High School. His research project is
about anxiety, ADHD, and the differences and misconceptions that people have about the two.

become much more aware of mental health and awareness. He is very proficient in technology
and will be attending Fitchburg State University in Fall 2019 to major in Game Design. Stay tuned here for more info on what Cristian is working on!
