Survival, Identity, and Learning Who I was All Along
A memoir by Patrick Santry
Forward by Katie Santry
From the struggles of late autism diagnoses to the quest for self-acceptance, this is my journey through darkness and hope.
Releasing March 31, 2026 for Autism Acceptance Month in April
Why This Book Matters
For years I lived by logic, work, survival, and duty, without fully understanding why I felt different from the people around me. Thin Ice is a story of a life shaped by hardship, service, ambition, family, and the late discovery that gave so many of those years new meaning.
This is not just a memoir about autism. It is a story about identity, resilience, and what happens when you finally begin to understand yourself after a lifetime of moving forward on thin ice.
