Why did we break up after 3.5 years?

Author

My ex and I broke up a month ago after 3.5 years together. We were each other's first everything and deeply in love but the combination of my BPD emotional intensity and his autism became overwhelming for him to handle.
He was devastated during the breakup and still checks on my well-being constantly. His family reaches out to me daily and he clearly still cares. We recently hooked up under a "no strings attached" agreement and the intimacy was extremely passionate. Afterward he reassured me that he is still there for me when I'm feeling down.
I have started DBT to work on my mental health and while he mentioned the possibility of dating again in the future after we both grow I want to know how to win him back now. Should I pull away and go distant or keep this casual connection open?
