Hi everyone my name is Gavin im 34 years old and reside in Melbourne Australia with my wife Natalie who is 35 and two step daughters Daniela and Monique. You will probably note in my posts that i will refer to the girls as my own children as that is how i see them.

Our eldest daughter has been diagnosed with autism recently after many years of not being able to get her diagnosed as she also displays symptoms of psychosis and PDD.

Im currently work as a freelance software developer for small business but i am looking to move into something a bit more steady in the near future.

Natalie and I also run a forum for parents of children with a disability http://disabilityasone.myfastforum.org/ and Natalie will be starting a group with our local community centre in the near future that will allow parents to meet and receive support services to help with raising children with conditions such as autism and aspergers.

Natalie and I have been together for 7 years and married for 3 of those years.
