Happy birthday to our patron Gary Numan. https://www.facebook.com/share/1DeiiS5nvB/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Happy 68th Birthday
GARY NUMAN
March 8, 1958

Gary Numan is a pioneering English musician, singer, songwriter, and producer who helped shape the sound of electronic music and synth-pop in the late 1970s and beyond.

He first rose to fame as the frontman of Tubeway Army, releasing the albums Tubeway Army (1978) and Replicas (1979). The single “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” from Replicas became a No. 1 hit in the UK and established Numan as a major force in the emerging new wave and electronic music scene.

Later in 1979, Numan released his debut solo album, The Pleasure Principle, which topped the UK Albums Chart and featured the iconic hit “Cars.” Its stark synth-driven sound helped cement his reputation as a pioneer of electronic and synth-pop music.

Throughout the early 1980s, Numan continued to push boundaries with albums like Telekon (1980), Dance (1981), and I, Assassin (1982), experimenting with electronic textures while incorporating elements of funk, rock, and jazz.

In the 1990s and 2000s, his darker, industrial-leaning sound gained renewed attention, influencing artists such as Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and Foo Fighters.
Numan remains creatively active today. His recent albums — including Splinter (Songs from a Broken Mind) (2013), Savage (Songs from a Broken World) (2017), and Intruder (2021) — show an artist still evolving more than four decades into his career.

Happy Birthday to a true innovator whose futuristic sound helped redefine modern music.

My 15-year-old daughter is exhibiting some ADHD and/or autistic behaviours but I don’t know if she should be tested. She struggles to chat and when she does it is often at length and in detail about a favourite topic — Taylor Swift, for example. I remember one of her primary school teachers poin...

The Story of Action for Asperger’s

ACTION FOR ASPERGER'S is a charity that was set up in October 2008 specifically to support those whose lives are affected by Asperger's Syndrome (autism). Elaine Nicholson MBE, is the founder of Action for Asperger’s and is qualified in counselling, autism/ Asperger’s syndrome and management. Perhaps more importantly though, she has the experience of autism/Asperger’s syndrome affecting several members of her own family.

AfA’s counsellors specialise academically and/or experientially in autism and Asperger counselling. The majority of AfA’s counsellors have familial experience of autism or have autism themselves. AfA’s counselling rooms double-up as sensory spaces; we believe in looking after our clients’ sensory sense of self as well as their emotional self, and in autism, the two are frequently found to entwined.

In these COVID times, we are promoting that which we have always done - “remote” counselling through a medium of the client’s choice (Whats App/Skype/Zoom/Facetime). AfA pioneered online counselling - we reach out to clients, who, due to their inherent autism, have a fear of leaving home, as well as, of course, reaching out to clients from afar - another country perhaps. To book your appointment with an afa counsellor write to info@actionforaspergers.org. Stay safe and take care meanwhile.
