( John Travolta is interested in having a...)Travolta Maybe Reluctant to Publicaly Discuss About Sons Autism,Health

John Travolta is interested in having a third child, but the actor is recoiling from making his 15-year-old sons autistic condition public .

Travolta has not come out in the open to declare that his son, Jett, is autistic.

However, a magazine editor, who interviewed the actor, is of the view that if Travolta doesnt shy away from accepting the fact and comes forward, awareness about autism would get a major boost.

He could do so much good for autism awareness if he would just come forward,' the editor added.

Travolta has either pretended that theres nothing wrong with Jett, or claimed that he has Kawasaki syndrome, a disease characterized by high fever, skin rash and swelling of the lymph nodes.

According to the Church of Scientology, people with mental illnesses are 'degraded' and are capable of curing themselves by working harder on the church's teachings.

However Travoltas lawyer Marty Singer asserted that such claims are false and offensiv
