John Travolta admits that his son had autism

John Travolta admits that his son had autism

This is big news for people that keep up with Scientology and their beliefs.

From the LA Times,

(("He was autistic," Travolta told the court during the extortion trial. "He suffered from a seizure disorder."

Travolta said Jett suffered seizures every five to 10 days and that each seizure lasted around 45 seconds. Jett would often sleep for 12 hours after an episode.

Earlier today, the actor described the events on Jan. 2, the day of his son’s death.))

It has been stated that Scientology doesn't believe in autism. Keep in mind that the Travolta family kept saying that Jett was suffering from the Kawasaki Syndrome. Now, they freely admit it was autism. Why hide that fact from people? Wouldn't it have helped out millions of families suffering from the same issues if they came out with it from the get go?

Did Travolta's belief in the space church do harm to his child? I think it might be a good time for someone in the government to look into this. But, we know that won't happen.

I just hope this will open some people's eyes into the strange belief system behind this space church and see that these people are more harmful than believing in Xenu. Having a follower of Scientology actually admit to autism is certainly a start.

Of course, the church had this little spin on the issue. (Cape Cod Online)

(("The Church of Scientology has no position on autism," said Tommy Davis, a spokesperson from Scientology International. “As with any medical condition, the Church believes that these matters are best diagnosed and treated by a medial doctor. Scientologists can and do then also seek spiritual assistance." ))

You can already tell they're trying to spin this so none of the crap blows back on them. Also, make sure to notice the “Medical Doctor” mention and not anyone from the Physiology field.

Side note:

-Remember those reports of Travolta leaving the space church or at least considering it? I guess there was some truth to those rumors. Could we still see him leaving the Space Church?

-The two people that tried to extort Travolta's are horrible people.
