Okay - this is what I think.... no one has the right to know what is going on in John Travolta's life or the life of his son - especially the life of his son. It is not his obligation to try to help the cause of autism. Before I get flamed, I am a fan of autism awareness, as my great-nephew is autistic. However, my niece has been forthcoming about the diagnosis and makes no secret of it. The only reason (from my understanding) that autism was actually mentioned was that he (John Travolta) was in a court of law discussing the details about his son's horrible death and the extortion charges surrounding it. I haven't read anything that leads me to believe that autistic children can be "saved" by admitting their disease and do believe that, by all accounts, he and Kelly Preston did everything possible to ensure that Jett had the best life and care he could possibly have. I'm not sure what opening their lives to speculation and question could have/would have done for Jett. As parents, I think that they should have the right to make those decision themselves. Quite frankly, I think it is highly unfortunate that they have been forced to put a label to Jett in their court proceedings (which, based on history, they did not want to do), which has quite probably opened them up to untold amounts of "you could have done so much for autism". Again, I think it goes back to THEIR choice and believe that they have the right to make choices for their own family. Anyway, only my humble opinion.
