There's another paper discussing Tammet recently published:
"Veridical mapping in savant abilities, absolute pitch, and synesthesia: An autism case study"
Tammet's case is again discussed without the slightest hint of skepticism or critical thinking. So the answer to your question of the day remains: "Not yet".
We know that as early as July 2005 the was skepticism expressed online about Tammet, as noted by Jon Sutton in a review of "The Boy with the Amazing Brain" (sic) in The Psychologist, and we know that some of that was written by Ben Pridmore. Those scientists certainly take a while to catch on.
