Just a week after John Travolta’s son Jett – who many believe to have Autism died many blogs are spinning because of there membership in the church of scientology. I think its time to put some rumours to rest here.Randi Kaye of CNN’s Anderson Cooper: 360 spoke to the Church of Scientology on its beliefs regarding Autism and other medical diagnosis. A church spokesman said “[scientologists get conventional medical treatment for medical conditions” and “use prescription drugs as prescribed by a doctor”. When asked about the church’s beliefs regarding neurological conditions like Autism the church answered “medical diagnoses are based on medical conditions. Psychiatric conditions are subjective”.
Kaye also asked the church if they recognized Autism as a diagnosis and the spokesman for the church answered “the church does not involve itself in diagnosis or classification of any medical condition” Apparently Jett has been taking medications for his seizures which according to John Travolta’s lawyer had recently quit working.
Did Jett Travolta Have Autism?
According to the Article ” Jett’s parents have always denied their son was autistic” – so as far as I’m concerned the answer is no. I however would like your opinion on if the parents of a child believe that there child does not have Autism should they be hounded like this – irregardless of their celebrity status?

I liked your article and if I don’t want to see the ads, I just don’t click on them…it’s that simple. The “click bait” certainly doesn’t take away from the point and/or purpose of the story. My son was recently diagnosed with Asperger’s. It was a long hard and frustrating journey. A journey where I was told, year after year, that I was being melodramatic, over-reacting, too overbearing, etc. whenever I suggested autism and/or asperger’s to his doctors. Does that make me irresponsible? Does that make me deserving of hateful comments? No. Until you walk in someone who you openly denegrate shoes, don’t make assumptions about people, their beliefs, their motives, or their actions.
To the admin.- you don’t owe anyone an explanation as to why there are ads in your article. You don’t have to engage in a back-and-forth with someone who apparently loves to argue for the sake of arguing.

I’m sorry my words confused you so much.. I’m not very good at these sorts of things. I never seem to get my words out the way they are suppose to be. I don’t really know the first thing about scientology, so no I do not claim to be one. My son is diagnosed as a classic Aspie.. his doc assumed he inherited it from me. I still am not convinced a diagnosis has a lot of meaning for my son or any of us in our family. He has always been treated like anyone deserves to be treated. We love him and that is most important.. with or without labels or standards. Something tells me you will find fault with all this.. which is ok.. it is who you are. It’s human too.. No offense meant.

Z: “As far as Autumns comments they can also be interpreted as while disabled individuals are disabled – they are still human.”
Autumn: “Maybe they saw Jett as human being instead of a ‘disabled’”
I’m “a disabled” and I’m human. I’m not a disabled with humaness, I’m “a disabled” human.

Perhaps, but I take them for what they wrote, not how I want to interpret what they wrote.
