Has dialectical behavioral therapy been used to treat Asperger's or PDD-NOS disorders?

I am looking to see if DBT has been used to treat Asperger patients. I know it is a branch of CBT and that obvious CBT has been successful, but what about DBT? I also realize this is primarily used to treat Borderline Personality Disorder....



Serious answers pleaseHas dialectical behavioral therapy been used to treat Asperger's or PDD-NOS disorders?
From what I know..aspergers is more of a physical ailment..like a developmental disability, a personality disorder is pretty much an incorrect learned pattern of ideas and thinking (thought process). The point is a person really doesn't "recover" from it, but rather just manages in a more limited fashion than a person with a personality disorder.
