It would be a far better tribute to his life if they had the bravery to stand up to Scientology once & for all & say they were proud of their autistic son.

Such a truly sad loss & one that will strike other families until the day that someone says enough! There is no shame in disability, only in the 'church' whose teachings deny it.

So heartbreaking. My five year old autistic son has very similiar facial expressions as Jett. The Travoltas have been brainwashed at the cost of this beautiful boy. God bless Jett he is now without judgement. R.I.P.

Before God sent Jesus to die for our sins, the people on earth made sacrifices for Him. The people who chose not to give God their safrifices were not 'saved'. Jesus WAS the ultimate sacrifice though.

Rest In Peace Jett.

I heard those rumors too, although they don't make much sense. His mother actively campaigns against the entire psychiatric industry and tells other mothers not to treat their childrens mental illnesses, so fro the stand point of Scientology treating him for seizures (which are not considered a physical illness) would be a bit hypocritical. They also said they only tried it for a little while and then gave up treating the seizures altogether, instead of switching to other options.

Sorry for not going to ToryMagoo44 before I responded the last time, I was in a hurry, but still should have looked before I replied.

I have actually heard rumors that Jett was on Depakote though, which is also an anti-seizure medication.

Once again I refer you to youtube user ToryMagoo44, or search for "Tory Magoo" or "Tory Christman" on google. You will find a firsthand account of a woman who was in Scientology for years who was told she could not continue Scientology practices while taking medication for seizures.

As you said, autism therapies can help improve the overall quality of life, but this still would not take away the seizures... so even if Travolta treated his possible autism in the regular way, this would not have stopped his son from having seizures - my point here is that Jett's mental health was of no importance in this case.

As far as I know, they do treat seizure disorders: this is neurological and not psychological or psychiatric...

[bluewiggirl]

They also don't treat seizure disorders such as epilepsy (see user ToryMagoo44 for more info), and while you are so right that there is no cure for autism, there are therapies which can help improve the overall quality of life.
