It's impossible to say for sure how much money goes into funding for research into a 'cure' for Autism overall, but an example would be to look at Autism Speaks which is the largest organisation focusing on Autism in the US and is pro-eugenics* so supports finding a 'cure'. In 2012 Autism Speaks put $15,790,797 into research, most of which was focused on finding a 'cure'.
* Autism is a neurological difference; it's how a persons brain works and who they are, as such Autism cannot be seperated from the person. Autism can no more be cured than you can cure being African-American, the only way to get rid of autism would be to get rid of all the Autistic people. In supporting a cure what people are saying is that Autistic people are worth less than Neurotypical people, or that Autistic people are broken Neurotypical people, and to support finding a 'cure' for autism is essentially supporting eugenics.

Will there be a cure for autism in the future?
Unfortunately organisations such as Autism Speaks are working on a cure for Autism. It should be noted that Autism is a neurological difference, it doesn't need to be cured and it cannot be separated from the individual so the only way to 'Cure' Autism is to wipe out Autistic people. A 'cure' for Autism would basically be Eugenics, preventing Autistic people being born.

Autism Speaks is one of a number of non-profit charities dedicated to raising money to fund research into autism and other autism spectrum disorders (also known as pervasive developmental disorders), including Asperger's syndrome, to find its causes, isolate potential treatments and cures, and work out methods to prevent it.

What is adult autism?
Basicly, autism is something you are born to have, not something that you could grow into. So, adult autism, means that a child with autism grows up and become an adult with autism. However, if you didn't find out that you have autism until you are an adult, then your autism must be the mild kind on the entire autism spectrum.
