Autism campaigner Fiona O’Leary abused online as a ‘hatemonger’ of Scientology
Quote:
Scientologists have targeted a mother of two autistic sons through a website which claims she is among “hatemongers” who oppose the church.
Fiona O’Leary, 46, was referred to as a bigot by Stand League, an organisation affiliated with the Church of Scientology, because she disagrees with teachings by the movement on autism.
A post carried a detailed description of Ms O’Leary, an autism rights campaigner, with statements about her income and her family.
She complained to gardaí last year after she claimed a Scientology member offered her a €1,600 detoxification programme for one of her autistic sons. Purification Rundown is a trademark owned by the governing body of the Church of Scientology.
The programme includes sweating in a sauna for several hours a day
