I don't know what the average increase is.
There are free matrices tests on the web if you want to take a test.
This is one:

Nothing by itself, but it is usually a relative strength in autistic individuals compared to their Wechsler scores.
It's a visual-spatial test of non-verbal or fluid reasoning.

Block Design is not the only abstract spatial test on which autistic individuals excel. The Raven’s Progressive Matrices [27] is an even more abstract test [25], [26], and autistic individuals show a relative strength on Raven’s Progressive Matrices. Autistic children and adults score higher on Raven’s Progressive Standard Matrices than they score on Wechsler tests [28], [29], [30], [31]; in contrast, non-autistic children and adults score the same across the two types of tests. When autistic and non-autistic children are matched on their performance on Wechsler tests, autistic children are more accurate than non-autistic children on the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices [32]. When autistic and non-autistic adults are equal in their accuracy on the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices, autistic individuals are faster [33]. Even for non-autistic adults, their degree of autistic traits predicts their successful completion of Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices items that are considered more visual-spatial [34]. Thus, autistic individuals’ performance on the Raven’s Progressive Matrices, the most agreed upon test of abstract spatial reasoning, suggests a strength in abstract spatial reasoning.
