Was Jett Travolta misdiagnosed?

John and his brother, Joey had a history of fighting over whether or not John's late son was autistic.

The autopsy results are in for Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of actor John Travolta, and, as expected, the cause of death is listed as being a "seizure." It was believed he hit his head on the bathtub, but the death certificate didn't specify that. His body has been cremated and flown to Florida for a funeral, that was held on Tuesday.

But while the family--John, 54; his wife, actress Kelly Preston 46; and their daughter Ella, 8--have only begun to grieve, there are a lot of alarming stories mounting about the nature of Jett's condition that aren't going to make it any easier for John to lose his only son.

Although John and Kelly believed their son had something called Kawasaki Syndrome (I did a google search and was able to find a site with a definition of that particular syndrome here), John's older brother, Joey Travolta, believed Jett was autistic, a friend of Joey's told the U.K.'s Mirror newspaper.

John and Kelly are both followers of Scientology, which teaches mental illnesses like autism don't exist. But Joey wasn't just offering an armchair diagnosis. He was a producer on the 2006 autism documentary Normal People Scare Me. Sixty-five people with autism were interviewed for the project, and Joey believed they all shared symptoms with Jett.

The Travoltas had been picketed by people concerned that Jett wasn't getting the proper treatment for his condition. At the time, the family lawyer called claims that the Travoltas weren't treating their son properly as "false and defamatory," the Mirror reports. Jett was on medication to control his seizures, but was taken off of it when it became less effective. The Mirror reports that almost half of autistic children are on medication for epilepsy.

It's so ghoulish,maybe even cruel or harsh to be making accusations against the Travoltas now, especially considering they're not even at a place mentally to agree with police that Jett was left alone for ten hours. If they're ever going to have a change of heart and agree Jett was autistic, they're about 50,000 hours in therapy away from it.
It should be noted that Scientologists don't even believe in therapy, so that's a bit of a stumbling block as well.
