AW, John must feel terrible. He was so young.

Hugs for this family and friends.

The Travolta family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Hunter, it was thought he was autistic but John said he had Kawasaki Disease/Syndrome.

john travolta also is a scientologist, which means he "doesn't believe" in autism.

a lot of people like to think autism doesn't exist or the "my child" syndrom kicks in (MY CHILD can't be autistic!)

its because autism is so different with each case. some are extremely high-functioning and almost like normal children, and others cannot interact at all. so people like to think that the higher functioning is "just a little slow", and the lower functioning is something way worse.

what i love is when people who know really nothing about human psychology try to argue that real disorders don't exist.

I completely agree My younger brother is autistic, on a higher functioning level though. It's awful when people are in denial about it and everything. I know someone who feels that way about her own son. My family isn't like that, because we want my brother to get the help he needs, in school and in life.

Anyway, I am very sorry to hear about John Travolta's son Jett. It's very sad. The family is in my prayers.
