The poor kid had the misfortune to have parents who believe in Scientology. He could have had the best that money could buy..since his dad jets around in his own plane.

Maybe his death will shed some light on this BS about not treating kids.

What seems strange to me (assuming the reports are true) is that he went to take a shower on Thursday evening and wasn’t found until Friday morning. I still look in on my son (when he’s home from college) before I go to bed!

A blog?
Come on.
It is nothing but rumor about the Travoltas son and how they coped with his disablity unless the parents speak out themselves.

And money cannot heal a child with severe disablilities.

My Prayers with the parents.

I think this is inappropriate discussion for this thread, but there is no proof Autism is "mental," especially with 1 in 156 children having the syndrome right now. Scientology doesn't seem to deal with mental but they do believe in physicians. Either way, this is not an appropriate thread to start a fight on religion, they have lost their child and my prayers go out to them.

It is very difficult for many parents, of all religions, to face they have an autistic child. It is a difficult syndrome for the family to deal with, some do it better than others across all socioeconomic ranges.
