some advice that i got on roughly the same topic is "try to be there for her"

im sure she is a little heartbroken, so having her talk to you and being there for her when she needs you will win you epic brownie points. maybe go a little bit 'inception' on her and plant the seed that maybe, just maybe, you would be a good match for her :D eventually she might start to wonder about it. you might have to take a more direct approach like telling her flat out you like her as more than a friend and you are interested in dating her (we tend to epic fail at picking up small social ques like hints that someone is interested in us, etc., at least i do, and i know many other aspies do too).

good luck though!

keep us posted and maybe we can be of further assistance to you :D
