You don't overcome autism, autism is not something you need to overcome.

Autism is a neurological difference and as such is what shapes you as a person: how you perceive and interact with the world. You are Autistic for your entire life and it's not something to be overcome any more than being Caucasian is something to overcome. You can make your symptoms easier to deal with and become passable as neurotypical but you're always Autistic - and that's fine!
