If you watch him you will definitely see he is special needs. A seventeen year old does not usually need to be lead by his father and guided by the shoulder by a handler. You will also note to 100 mile look and slack facial features. If you go 1:20 left you will see two kinds of stimming, the rocking and him watching his hand while moving it. Definite signs of autism.

Now the question of his special needs is out, and you can see how nervous John and Kelly were about this, the question is what treatments, good or bad has he had from this Scientological parents?

I posted this on IMDb but it was deleted twice, make that three times.

Edit; in light of the untimely death of Jett, and the number of views this thread is getting here are some links of interest and importance on the subject. When I originally posted this I had no idea that Jett was in so much danger. If Anon had taken on the cause of Jett more strongly would he have survived? Probably not. But I hope his tragic death will help to end the deaths of other children in this cult that are in the same danger.


Sadly Jett's name needs to be added here.

Actually unless the kid is being mistreated I don't care what the parents are doing for him.

Sorry this kind of shit (stalking his kids and using them to prove a point) is fucking vile and retarded.

Good luck with this jihad though.

you say vile and retarded like its a BAD thing

Gee I'm sorry. I would have thought anyone posting on this thread would have bothered to find out, or already know what it is about.
Do I need to spoon feed you the information or can you find google and type scientology and autism and jett travolta?

Now what is the phrase? Lurk moar?

Actually a lot of people are worried about the treatment Jett is getting. and the fact John and his beard say infatically he isn't. Well because Autism doesn't exist according to Co$.

And while the little girl has been parade like Suri for years there have been almost nothing about Jett. In fact, just last year in an interview when John was asked if they did have another child what would he like, he said since they had their princess he would like a boy. Like Jett didn't even exist, in that way it was good they had him in Paris with them.

They admit he has special needs, but claim it was caused by toxic carpet cleaning chemicals, and is not autism.

But either way, they are not treating their child in any meaningful way. They hide him as much as they can.

To admit autism is to admit within scientology that they pulled it in or some other bullshit.

Skeptic1337

Yeah I can see my point went way over your fucking head.

Madame_Guillotine

Looks like mine went right over yours, too. Guess I'll use smaller words.
Yes, if Jett is autistic, as a child of scientologists he is probably being abused through painful and uneffective 'detox' methods that have killed many people. He is also not getting the help or understanding he needs, since since his parents cult does not believe in meds that might help, and Hubbard taught that mentally ill, autistics, etc. are that way because they are flawed and less than human.

Hubbard's solution was to "put them all away quietly and without sorrow. "
You know like an old dog?

Getting through yet?

Travolta's own brother did a fabulous documentary on understanding autistic people. John and Kelly wouldn't go to it.

looking at Jett I don't really see autism but probably some sort of brain damage. but then this is just my opinion.

Madame_Guillotine

Someone else told me the same thing. That to them it remind them of a child they knew who was brain damaged.

If that's the case I hope to God it wasn't due to some damn detox procedure Kelly has been harping on.

Ain't just sciops that try to hide away autistic children, my own family tried to do it to me.

The poor kid looks like he's being arrested in the first half of the video. I almost expected to hear him scream "what the fuck, let go of me!"

Ok, so I'm dumb, what kind of treatment is there for autism anyways? I thought all you could do was help them out and take care of them. So if they are taking care of him, and leading him around, even if they don't admit he has it, they are indeed taking care of it. Or are there medicines and such for it that they aren't giving him?

Top grunge,

It is complicated. There is some meds that help with some things, but the best two things you can do is to modify teaching techniques to help them learn their way and most important accept and respect them for who they are. Scientology does not respect them, they deny they have it or they fall into that below 2 on the tone scale. Hubbard's advice on that was to put them down, like at the vets.

Of course there are a huge range of Autism, from those who never learn to walk or talk to the guy/gal standing behind you in line at the store that you really don't notice. Jett seems to be in the mid to severe range. It looks like he can speak, you can see him speaking to his mother, he does have a lot of stimming, or stimulating activities, like rocking and hand movements. These are used to sooth and help autistics cope. A lot of parents are ashamed if this, and it looks like the Travoltas fall into this category as they seem to stop him from doing this in the car.

The worst scientology does to them is the harsh detox rituals that do not help and is dangerous. In includes large amounts of vitamins and water, no food, and hot sauna, wraps and hot tubs. A number of people have died from this. Kelly has said Jetts has under gone this at a young age in an attempt to cure him. Obviously it didn't work.

I'm not saying the Travoltas don't love their son, but their religion teaches them to be ashamed of him, to get rid of him and forget him. I'm glad they haven't done that.

I just wish he was in a family who wasn't in such a harmful atmosphere.

Yeah, the whole world believed like Scientology did back in the 50's. And things have been changing too slowly, with Scientology taking a very hard line and getting harsher. Even in the mid 70's my parents were told to send my special needs brother to a institution and forget he exists. My mother refused and fought for him through every years of school. My father is still embarrassed by his actions at times, but most people love my brother from the first time they meet him.

I'm so sorry you had to put up with that. I'm not sure your age, but the 'refrigerator' mom belief put the blame on mothers for their childrens autism until I believe the mid 70's. Blaming the child or the mother is so wrong. We are who we are with faults, quirks, and wonderful diversity. The scienos still blame both a lot!

I know nothing about autism, but there is a suicide/scientology connection to this story.
