really tired of people bad mouthing John AND Kelly
they have two awesome kids
and they are doing what a parent does looking after there childrens best intrest
who cares what time they go to bed so long as they get 8 hours of sleep and are homeschooled they love both those children who gives you the right to say that they favor one over the other you do not live in that home or are you monotering them too?
enough with Jett’s condition
another thing what do you know about wether or not he gets treatment they probably do it in secret because of nosy people like you always up in there buisness
take care of your self first then point a finger
you know that old saying “point one finger get three pointed back at you”
let it go ALREADY

Autistic people can be very sensitive depending on how severely they are effected and it would be cruel to subject Jett, if he is autistic, to certain situations, including being out in public where there is a lot of media and paparazzi all over the place.

I’m no fan of Travolta’s religion but I think it is wrong to force shame upon him over something he has chosen to not talk about. We don’t know why he has kept that private, whether it is shame or to protect his son or a mixture, and for all we know he is doing it for the most honorable of reasons.

The kids are homeschooled, it doesn’t matter what time they get to bed so long as they get enough sleep each night. Geez. Lets start worrying about our own families before judging Travoltas. He loves his family & there’s nothing wrong with that…

I still like John Travolta. As an actor he’s phenomenol and sometimes religions can brainwash you and it seems as though this could be the case for this family. If true, there’s nothing anyone can do. They’ll raise Ella and Jett the way they choose.

I just hope that the kids don’t grow up with resentment towards them for how they’re allowing them to just live whatever sort of life they want to.

I think Ella will be a great actress because her parents are. But I just feel as though that Jett gets pushed to the side bc he’s not normal like his sister. I think Jett should be placed in a film (but according to them he’s not interested). I think it’s more or less they’re hiding what they don’t want to admit to.

“Its just not true that autism in any way relates to a nocturnal lifestyle. Some autistic children and adults have sleep problems….just like many non-autistic children and adults. But, difficulty sleeping is not a symptom of autism nor is it used in diagnosis.”

Actually Annie my son is the ONLY autistic child out of all his sports buddies and school mates that actually sleeps thru the night. I have yet to meet one autistic child from my sons peer group that sleeps thru the night. They are all up til 3-4-5-6 in the morning. It drives the family apart. I actually never brag to their parents that my son sleeps thru the night from day one cause I dont want them to hate me…
Annie please research before you say erroneous things that arent true!

Well they wouldn’t be going to school since it’s the middle of summer. And some kids, just like adults, are night people.

At one time I thought John Travolta and Kelly Preston were pretty level-headed. But something is not right (you know when you get that feeling about someone?).

There has been a lot of talk from John about his daughter but his son is rarely mentioned. And the son is older.

Maybe they should slow down a bit to allow their children some normalcy? Including reasonable bedtimes for children.

I’m sorry, but I’ll never cut John Travolta a break anymore. We go to a deli at 3 a.m. That’s his line. What I hear is, “no one will see him at 3 a.m.”

On a sidenote, it is (usually) a lot easier to take younger autistic children to events than older ones – if they get scared and react thusly, it’s harder to calm them down, because they’re the size of you. Perhaps that is why we don’t see Jett much, not because he isn’t loved or understood, but out of a parents’ need to not cause their child unnecessary trauma. Some autistic children don’t mind crowds but many – especially given how secluded the Travolta’s are in general – can’t handle all the commotion at once. As for why he’s not talked about, maybe they just don’t want to make him into a poster child.

I hope a 4am bedtime isn’t the result of giving Jett no routine to follow. I don’t know, I’m no Travolta fan, but there are two sides to every story, you know?

why don’t they just admit to jett’s autism? i know – the whole scientology issue – but really… they take ella everywhere – but jett is always left at home. are they embarrassed? it makes me angry…

Its just not true that autism in any way relates to a nocturnal lifestyle. Some autistic children and adults have sleep problems….just like many non-autistic children and adults. But, difficulty sleeping is not a symptom of autism nor is it used in diagnosis.

John Travolta has talked repeatedly about the fact that his mother was a stage actress and he and his father would wait up for her until early in the morning. He says that his family’s nocturnal lifestyle is a product of his own upbringing.
