Jett Travolta

[Trip]

John Travolta, his kid had autism but his fucktard scientology beliefs made him refuse to accept that and get his kid real help, so instead his kid had "kawasaki syndrome" (I guess they are scared of ninja's so they have seizures) and died from the incorrect treatment for his disease because it would make him less of a person in scientologist eyes.

A: removed to get rid of GW crap

B: Autism does not cause seizures at any age (Travolta's kid reportedly had them from an early age) as far as I know, so what are you basing you're online diagnosis on?

C: If anything, the kid was mistreated for Kawasaki syndrome (an overwhelming desire to paint everything a hideous shade of green and lose races?) and not mis-diagnosed.

D: Just sayin'.

Except in Canada, where it is known as "Suzuki Syndrome."

A. It's not my diagnosis, but something being reported by people who aren't scared of scientology. Travolta has already sicked his lawyers on those news networks.

B. Autism has been known to be associated with seizures in some patients, it's not a huge percentage, something like 15-30%.

C. It wasn't misdiagnosis, it was a choice to publicly deny. Several autistic associations and known celebrities with autistic kids privately called him out for it too.

There is more to this story and I doubt the truth will ever get out to the mainstream public, all I know is medical experts doubt it had anything to do with kawasaki disease.

Some good snippets from this article:

A Travolta attorney said the teen had a history of seizures, and John Travolta has said his son was successfully treated when he was 2 for a rare disease called Kawasaki syndrome, which can lead to heart disease and related problems.

Medical specialists who did not treat the boy told The Associated Press on Tuesday that while Kawasaki syndrome is poorly understood, it's extremely unlikely the disease had anything to do with the teen's death.

Gossip magazines and blogs long have suggested the boy also had autism — a claim John Travolta denied. Autism is frequently accompanied by seizures that experts believe may stem from the same brain abnormalities that cause the developmental disorder.

Dr. Michael Kohrman, a University of Chicago pediatric neurologist, said up to one-third of children with autism have some sort of seizure disorder.

"We're dealing with a massive lack of information," Cohen said.

Erase the evidence

Jett Travolta's body was cremated, and the autopsy report has not been released.

Kawasaki syndrome, the disease the family has said sickened Jett when he was a toddler, can cause inflammation in blood vessels and arteries. It typically features a persistent high fever accompanied by symptoms that can include bloodshot eyes; swelling in hands, feet and neck lymph nodes; a red rash on the arms and legs; and cracked, swollen lips.

Most cases occur in the first five years of life, and if treated promptly with aspirin and intravenous gamma globulin, children are essentially cured, said Dr. Cody Meissner, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

While inflammation can sometimes lead to burst arteries or heart damage, Meissner said most children have no complications. And those who do would develop them soon after diagnosis — not several years later, Meissner said.

"If 10 years or more had gone by, it would be very unlikely that seizure activity could be attributed to Kawasaki disease," Meissner said.

why are we even DEBATING THIS????

A father lost his son. A son is supposed to burry his father, not the other way around. We'll never know what really happened. IT DOESN"T MATTER. John Travolta is the only one with all the details and he is the only one who has to live with his parenting decisions the rest of his life. Good bad or otherwise. We all parent to the best of our abilities.

RIP Jett. Regardless of circumstances.

Cause we can and cause I think there might be a legal case here if the son had a medical condition that the father chose to neglect because of cultish beliefs.
