How This Works

For all donations, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com will distribute approximately 90% of money donated to the selected charities. This is determined primarily by the amount of views per charity and available funds. The 10% expense includes Revver.com's .01/view webhosting cost, California Community Foundation's 1.25% administrative expense and site maintenance. Contributions to the California Community Foundation represent irrevocable gifts subject to the legal and fiduciary control of the foundation's Board of Directors.

For videos which have received 30,000 or more views, whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com may elect to add a click through advertisement at the end of such videos to defray web hosting expenses. As our objective is to donate the most funds possible to our charities, this will eliminate substantial expenses incurred by revver's .01 per view charge on videos with millions of views.

whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com is the property of John Ondrasik and is administrated by John and the Five For Fighting management team at Jim Grant Management.

whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has no paid staff or personnel.

The pictures and music for this video are wonderful, but I am not sure this is the message we should be sending. I just spent the last two evenings with a group of adults with autism who are offended by the "cure" message and the idea of the elimination of autism. They and I worry about the generation of children now being raised to adulthood who hear that an integral part of their identity should be eliminated. What will that do to their self-esteem. The DD Act states that "Disability is a natural part of the human condition." Why don't we embrace difference and instead of, in the name of raising awareness, offending people on the spectrum, work to get them the services and supports they need? I don't want my son to be cured; I love him for who he is and would refuse the "magic pill" even if there was one. This is a beautiful piece of artwork, but unfortunately it does not respect the dignity of people with autism.

Knowledge is power. We mock what we don't understand. As a mother of two boys with autism/Aspergers, every day we live trying to understand how they process information. Their minds are just fascinating. They have taught us that there is nothing wrong with them, they just think differently. In turn, we have seen our job as helping them understand how others process information and give them the tools to function in both worlds. We want our children to be accepted but also respected for their gifts. I am so glad that this issue is getting the attention it so deserves!

WHAT a heartwarming beautiful video! Our grandson who is almost 4 is on the spectrum with HP/Aspergers. We are thankful he is blessed with an extremely incrediable vocabulary and vocal ability. The many other challenges he faces each day along with our wonderful daughter and son-in-law & his typical younger brother can only become easier with the awareness of autism and the epidemic it has become. We can only hope that all of these children on the autistic spectrum can be accepted as who they are and not judged by the world we live in. Bless you in enlightening our world. We love you Noah, Ethan, Lisa & Marc

Thank you for using your creative talents to spread the word about the autism epidemic we are facing in this world. As a Mom of a child with autism, this video inspires me to continue to volunteer with Autism Speaks and instills hope in my heart.

As the grandmother of a beautiful little girl with autism, I thank you for this beautiful message - and hopeful that in my granddaughter's young lifetime there will be a breakthrough in autism research - we have to keep the awareness out in the public media! Thank you!!

This is a great presentation, especially to those not touched personally, on a daily basis, by a child with autism. My son will be 17 next month. You must believe that God has given you a gift for a purpose, and never give up your desire and determination. Doctors said he may never speak...But he is in main stream 10th grade, AB honor roll, and is a living testament. Challanges, yes, Rewards, Priceless..I encourage all parents with young autistic children not to give up, or accept limits. Pass it on.jj

Beautifully done, I have come to a point in my acepance where it's the way our lives are and I rarely need to sit and cry but this video reminded me of the depths of this spectrum, and what a gift and a hardship it can be to bare. Thank you for helping to make a differnce.

I am speechless and sobbing. I have 2 boys on the spectrum and all I can say is "Wow".

Thank you for your continue interest in autism. My Grandson has autism, he has come so far with the knowlege of autism but has may obstacles to climb, but with more research he and so many others will have a future. He is my shining star!
