I'll offer the following advice based on the assumption that either you or your partner is autistic, and the other isn’t. Please accept my apologies if that's incorrect (although I suspect the suggestion would still help an autistic couple).
You might find this book helpful. It focuses on helping such couples to improve their relationships through better mutual understanding and communication, complete with exercises that you can both complete and discuss, if you wish:
(It was written when "Asperger's" was still a diagnostic term, whereas it's now simply diagnosed as autism / Autism Spectrum Disorder).
Caveat: between one issue / scenario and the next, the author keeps switching the couple around. In one scenario, the male is autistic, but in the next it's the female, etc. This can be confusing, and I kept needing to check and remind myself "which person is autistic this time?" But I felt that the benefits from the book were still very worthwhile.
