DSM-V 'under construction' due for publication sometime in 2012

If we had a voice in developing the diagnostic criteria for Autism and Aspergers in the DSM-V, what would you want it to say?

"DSM-V: The Future ManualThe process for revising the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) began with a brief discussion between Steven Hyman, M.D., (then-Director of the National Institute of Mental Health), Steven M. Mirin, M.D., (then-Medical Director of the American Psychiatric Association) and David J. Kupfer, M.D., (then-Chair of the American Psychiatric Association Committee on Psychiatric Diagnosis and Assessment) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 1999. They believed it was important for the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and NIMH to work together on an agenda to expand the scientific basis for psychiatric diagnosis and classification.
...
In order to invite comments from the wider research, clinical, and consumer communities, the APA launched a DSM-V Prelude web site in 2004, on which these groups could submit questions, comments and research findings, which were then distributed to the relevant work groups.

Unfortunately, only APA members can sumbit suggestions, and only doctors can join APA.
