Scientology & Jett Travolta’s Death
John Travolta is a Scientologist. According to the London Times, critics of Scientology suggested yesterday that Travolta’s son, Jett (pictured), who died suddenly last week, may have been suffering from autism, a condition that the church does not recognise because it considers mental illness to be psychosomatic and argues that it should be treated through spiritual healing. Joey Travolta, the star’s film-maker younger brother and an autism activist, reportedly clashed with his brother about what was wrong with Jett. Joey Travolta worked on a documentary called Normal People Scare Me and helped to found Actors with Autism.
