The forum AS and their Partners was established in 2002 by Diane2boys, an AS who was searching for more information. She was seeking a place such as the forum to turn to for discussion and information, and not finding one, she created it. Now five years later there are over 8,000 members who turn to AS and their Partners for answers, support, and friendships.

In 2006 Diane decided to take a rest from her duties as the forum host, although she still occasionally logs in to participate.
