context: i met this girl on tinder who's is on the spectrum, we talked for a bit and then exchanged our ig accounts, but she hasnt replied since. I dont understand what happened, if shes just busy, needs time or lost interest. I have no way to tell and im too scared to ask. What should I do?

Probably found someone more interesting. I have matched with some ND people on dating apps but it led to nothing, no even soc media profiles exchange, I had much more luck with neurotypicals.
