Getting married when you have autism

I  get along fine with my partner, we've been together for decades and have learned how to compromise with each other and what our individual needs are.

It takes time in any relationship to learn about each other. Communication and compromise are key.

Tell her about your concerns, and what happened with your previous relationship. If there are times of the day or certain situations when you find it more difficult to talk, tell her what those are so she doesn't try to initiate conversation when you cannot join in. You could arrange to set some time each day when you are relaxed and then try to initiate a conversation with her - you don't say whether you live together, so If you don't see her every day then send a quick email or text, so she knows you are thinking of her.

Do you have common interests? If so, try talking about those. If not, you could try to find a hobby that interests you both and do it together, so that you have that to talk about.

Autistic people can make great partners - we tend to be loyal, honest, and care a lot about our partner's happiness, as you have shown by posting this here. I wish you luck with your relationship.
