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.

I have a son, Colton 10 YOA w/ high functioning autism. He and his little brother (Corbin 9), well they don't exactly have the dreamy relationship these two have but I know they will stand up for each other to the end.
Colton looks normal, most of his challenges are social. Often people think he is an "out of control" spoiled little boy and his parents ought to discipline him.
No one knows the hurtles Colton has over come to get where he is.
No one knows the challenges Corbin has been through growing up in the shadow of his brother.
Please don't judge children until you know what they've been through.

Thank you for sharing this movie. I bet your autistic son gives your oldest son much back.
I have a daughter with Autism and she has 3 amazing younger brothers that often act as her older brothers.
I will share this movie with them.

Any comment here would be sort of anti-climatic. Nothing can top that beautiful video, and a standing O for the warmth and kindness of your oldest son toward his younger bro would not be enough.

Your oldest son should be very proud of himself - his warmth, love & compassion were crystal clear in this beautiful video. What a testimony to you as parents. May both of your sons be blessed!

Our daughters, Rocky and Kim and their husbands, Bret and Tim, each have a child with autism: Joey, age 8, and Lauren, age 6. Joey loves his older brother, Peter (10) and shares his love and activities with him in his unique way. Ryan (8) will soon become aware that his sister needs his love & support in the same way. This video message is so acutely touching. Thanks to your family for sharing and to Five for Fighting.

Wow!!! This is really what it is all about. I have three children a son with special needs, and have been teaching Developmentally disabled individuals for the last 18 years. There is such a special bond and it is so hard to put in to words. Living with individuals with disabilities especially autism can be difficult at times and equally triumphant. Watching these two boys brought tears to my eyes for there was so much love for each other and mutual respect. Please continue to share these videos with others so as to make the public more aware of Autism Research.

Seeing your sons together was wonderful--two of my three are on the spectrum, and I often feel for my "typical" daughter--but they are really each other's best friends. Thanks for sharing the bond your boys share, with all of us--it's clear yours is a special family.

So incredibly touching. This is the love that my cousins Eric and Stanley have. What a tribute to their brotherhood. Thank you for sharing with us.

This video helps my son's own little world seem bigger, and kinder. Thank you for making this! A cure would be wonderful, but truly the real problem is ignorance.
