Were they able to fit everybody into the phone booth? 
Strange they should pick such an isolated locale for this announcement. Could it be the geographic equivalent of the famed Friday news dump? Sounds to me like they're trying to define a lot of people out of disability, as happened to me when I started reading above grade level in an age when "autistic" implied "mentally retarded".
The proposed DSM-V would also eliminate Asperger syndrome as a separate category. A lot of people on the spectrum who identify as "Aspies" are horrified that they might now be lumped in with "those people" who flap their hands, don't speak, and so forth. Ouch.
Actually this study sounds somewhat similar to the one on which I assisted Dr. Volkmar back in the early '90s, that established the validity of Asperger's in the first place.
