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.

To every person, parent, teacher, anyone who is moved by this video, please teach the children in your life to be kind and not make fun of other kids their age who are "different". Answer their questions about autism. Encourage them to be friends with children who have autism. My daughter, who has autism, but is in regular classes at school, endures a lot of lonely times and teasing, but also has some caring friends her age who are brave enough to be there for her and see the great person she is even though she is different. In middle school and high school it is not easy to stand up for those who are different; encourage the children in your life to be brave!

As I watched this video I shed tears, but felt so proud of all these amazing children. They can't help being brought in this world the way they are, but they deserve all the love and opportunities that every normal child recieves. I have a Autistic daughter who is 5 years old and a 6 1/2 year old daughter who has PDD. I could definatley see personalities of these children just like my own. EVEN DOWN TO THAT PRECIOUS STARE. :)

My sweet nephew Benjamin is 6 years old and cannot speak for himself because of autism. What a gift that the collective voice is speaking up to call attention to this epidemic.

What a touching video. I had tears in my eyes as I viewed the video. The tears are of joy to see the overwhelming level of support of raising the level of autism awareness. There is so much more to be done, but we are moving in the right direction. All of these children are truly a gift!

What a moving video! Our 17 year son has Asperger Syndrome and it causes real issues in his life, but he is also an incredibly bright, creative and warm person in his own way. He has much to offer the world and I only hope that more knowledge and awareness among the general population will help create an accepting world for him and others like him.

This is an amazing video! As a mother of a brilliant autistic son, my prayer is for a world that will recognize his strengths and accept his weaknesses. I have come to learn that autism is such a huge part of his being...I wouldn't change him for anything. He is one of the most purest joys in my life!

My youngest of 4 sons acquired autism after receiving too many vaccinations in a short period of time. My older sons were born between 1972- 1980 and have not been affected, since they received less than half the number of immunizations before their 2nd birthdays. Now the folks that did this are denying any fault.

I am a special education teacher and I would like to thank Five for Fighting for enlightening those who have never heard of ASD. I have learned far more from my students than they ever could benefit from my teachings. This video is very powerful and sends the message of hope. We are ALL God's precious creations. Thank you.

My nephew has this desease, he is now 21 has made great strides in his life struggling all the way,cannot begin to imagine how frustrating life is for them. Also have a friend whos son has this and adhd a double whammy, he also has come a long way and has now gone into 7th grade.
Let's pray that they can find what causes this and a way to treat this, it is so scary that so many are being afflicted with it.
Great work Chris, keep up the good work we are proud of you. Keep on trying the best you can Jeremy you have done reat so far.

This video speaks volumes. The emotions and enlightenment that I experienced in the last two minutes were unbelievable. Autism Speaks is such a valuable tool to educate the world about autism and the people that it affects

God bless all the moms and dads, brothers and sisters who care for the autistic child....but for the grace of God go I.

Thank you Five for Fighting for this beautiful video that depicts the lives of people living with A.S.D. It is sad that there are so many people still out there who have never even heard of autism. Hopefully this will expose them to the truth that our children are not bad, just different!

What a gentle reminder that everyone is equal no matter who they are and deserve to be treated as such.

This is an AWESOME VIDEO! I can't watch it without crying. I was just told a 4 months ago that my twin boys are autistic and this video does a great job of suming up alot of questions that people may have. I forward this website to everybody I know. Thank you for making this video and who sings this song?

I have had the priviledge to teach both autistic and "normal" children the best results are the friendships that were formed and still last today 15 years later. I hope the trend continues within other educators and parents.
