Did he personally tell you that he's too busy for a girlfriend, or was that just a general statement that he made?
Someone that I work with who is friends with a relative of his was telling her about me and how she thought I was interested in him. His relative talked to him about me, and he told her that he felt really bad because his schedule is so busy and he didn't feel like he would be able to give a girlfriend the attention she needs and deserves because of it. I heard about it in a roundabout way. From what I was told, she was really hoping he'd give me a chance, since she thinks we'd be great together and just wants to see him happy.
OK, don't everyone kill me at once, but isn't this a standard brush off for when you are not into someone that way?
He may be on the spectrum but that doesn't mean he is completely incapable of following social protocol. Dunno. Just throwing it out there.
Yes, and just about every guy in my life that I have ever been interested in has said something of that extent to me. My ex even said it at first, but that didn't stop us from being friends and dating later on. It really was not a good time for him to date anybody at the time. I'm trying to remain optimistic.

Good for you then. As long as you are also emotionally prepared for the possibility of rejection and won't think it's a big deal if it comes to that, than I am definitely in favour of remaining optimistic!
