The author's 29-year-old son, Danny, on the autism spectrum, who has lived in Israel since he was four, has experienced many missile alerts throughout the past two-plus years, but lacks a deep understanding of the current conflict with Iran. He does not fully understand that Arabs and Jews are different groups or that there are different religions. Danny's response to missile alerts varies depending on his reaction to the time of day, location, and whether or not they can hear loud booms in the shelter. Despite these changes, Danny's mother decided to record the weekend of sirens in a diary to show how her autistic son's experiences were seen through his eyes. The author also shared key points from this article, which may not always match the content of the article.
