Not diagnosed, but me and my partner have learned that we both need direct communication. Mistakes are often made and assumptions can become set in stone. On your end, you can lay out your expectations clearly so if they don't line up with your partner's, they can express that. Like, "I'm going to a thing at 6, it's done at 8 so I should be home by 8:40 unless something comes up."
Ideally then they'd say "I want to go to bed early" and then you can either make sure to leave right after or leave early if absolutely necessary.
On their end, ugh. Sure, you knew they were up early, but it's not your responsibility to automatically assume a change in routine because of it. Also you did communicate when your expected schedule changed.
Uhh, hello? That, plus repeatedly beating you over the head with "I was up early" just sounds... Not great. It's not good either that you snapped at them, but it sounds like you were pushed to that point.
I'd suggest having a conversation and saying that you need them to spell things out for you, or at least ask questions to ensure a common understanding. Can't stress the importance of communication enough, honestly.
