From Petitions to Death Threats: Emma Dalmayne’s Battle Against Autism Abuse

This interview contains details that may be distressing.

When it comes to protecting autistic people from abuse disguised as “treatment,” few voices are as relentless as Emma Dalmayne’s. Emma has spent over a decade exposing dangerous pseudoscience; from bleach enemas to extreme detoxes, and calling out the companies that profit from them. In this interview, she speaks candidly about her fight against fake cures, the trauma she carries from the stories she’s witnessed, and why Amazon’s continued sale of harmful books is a crisis we cannot ignore.

This interview is part of a wider campaign, click here to read the exposé on Amazon platforming abuse, and click here to read about the harm of looking for autism causes.

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Emma Dalmayne, I am an autistic mum to 6 wonderful neurodivergent kids and adults. I campaign for the rights of autistic people and against the abuse of them.

I am also a published author, my two books are on Elklan Books Its An Autism Thing I'll Help You Understand It and Susie Spins.

I co own a facebook group with John Greally, it has 168k members.

I am also CEO of an autistic led grassroots organisation based in Woolwich SE London, Autistic Inclusive Meets.

How long have you been fighting fake cures?

I have been fighting against fake cures being touted for the treatment of autistic people since 2014, I have reported 12 sets of parents here in the UK for using chlorine dioxide bleach on their autistic children.

Why is the current campaign happening and why is it important?

Amazon are selling books that advise on various unproven treatments, detoxes and anti vaccine rhetoric. They currently still have a book by Kerri Rivera on there, they have previously removed 3 books by her but are adamant about keeping this one up. Kerri writes about and has used the chlorine dioxide protocol. The protocol advises using CD in oral solutions and enemas, up to 60 drops in a dose.

What are the real world impacts of Amazon platforming these books?

They will be responsible for deaths, they probably already are. These books advise extreme detoxes. There are currently 2 books on there advising the Nemecheck Protocol, an unproven supplement treatment consisting of Inulin, olive and fish oils in high doses. This protocol put a British child into intensive care in 2017.

What can the average person do to fight this kind of abuse?

Sign our petition and share it, come to protests and report the books on Amazon, email them and tell them this is a horrific lapse in safeguarding.

How do you manage the trauma of what you are fighting against?

I don't.

I still get tearful whenever I see a full moon, in Kerri's book Healing The Symptoms Known As Autism she advises to double dose with enemas and oral solutions when there's a full moon as the parasites she claims are causing autism breed then and act up more. She calls it 'pissed off worm syndrome', coincidently the initials are POWS, which stands for Prisoners of War, which these children, teens and adults are. They are fighting for their lives against parents and carers who believe anally raping them with bleach will cure them. The injuries are horrific.

So no, I dont manage the trauma. I've become immune to it, though it creeps in at the oddest of times; and then I sob internally. I break and then I make. I make petitions and campaigns and get threats, my most recent was a bullet sent to my house through the post.

I'll see the colour red, on a poster, a bus or a rose and my mind will spring to the photo of a little girl called Roisin, the photo I sent to the police had her wearing a little red school jumper, she had blonde ringlets and big blue eyes. She was 6. The police removed her from her family home and charged her family with sexual abuse because of the enemas.

Or tissues, I'll pick up a roll and I think of the teenage teen, he was Turkish and epileptic, non speaking. He stuffed tissue up his own nose and down his throat to stop his mother giving him CD, she stopped all his epilepsy meds. Social services removed him then gave him back to his mother a week later, who of course restarted him on the protocol.

All we can do is fight for every autistic life out there, for their future, for their welfare and for their survival.

I thank Emma for the privilege of working alongside her, for the dangerous and traumatising work she does, and for giving me the honour of platforming her words. Please do click the button near the top to sign and share the petition. Please help us fight this abuse.
