It’s being reported that Jett was autistic (but the parents have denied it). Scientology looks down on mentally disabled–thinks of them as less than human and that they can cure themselves by getting deeper within their scientology faith. If you see the way the boy walks and his facial expressions, you can see the signs of autism. They blame his condition on cleaning the carpets when he was 2 (the most common age for autism to become recognized and diagnosed). They can’t publicly acknowledge autism because of their commitment to scientology. It’s all very sad.
