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.

Jude is a darling little boy! Hope shines in his eyes. Keep up with the intervention therapies. Follow up at home reinforcing his therapeutic activities. When you feel discouraged, or just worn out, remember there is a rapidly growing community of people struggling through the challenges of autism...and that Jude will have many friends in his life. He will touch others for good, and help them to become better people. Don't hesitate to reach out & let someone know when you need some help. Be as patient with yourself as you always want to be with Jude. He has a beautiful sister who will always watch over him. You must be a truly incredible family, to have such a special spirit as Jude in your home. Have a wonderful life.

My thoughts go out to Jude and your family. He seems like an amazing boy with a bright future ahead of him! =) My world would also be cured of Autism...

A very well put together piece of work. It definately gets a point across. I'm sad to hear that something like this has to happen to a child such as yours. Autism is a sad thing for children because it's misunderstood among adults a lot of times (ones that don't know much about it). I went to school with a kid that had severe autism, and his parents made sure he went through REGULAR classes and everything. He was a brilliant kid! I wish you and your family luck!

WOW! He is such a cutie! I have a young daughter who has ADHD and people have told me that she is spoiled and that is why she acts out in public - and they do not understand. All you can do is give them unconditional love. Children are God's gift to us. I wouldn't trade her for the world. Tears are still falling. Keep the faith!

This is truelly inspirational. Just by looking at the pictures, one can tell that Jude is a happy child because of those who are around him and love him so much. One does not always realize how good he or she has it. The song was outstaning. You are all in my prayers. You and your family are truelly an example to follow. GOd Bless

Your video is beautiful and your son is very handsome. I wish we could read the minds of those with Autism because I am sure their outward behaviors do not reflect at all what they are thinking or feeling at that time. My 12 year old son is best friends with a 13 year old young man who has Autism Spectrum. It is very rewarding to watch the 2 of them interact. Currently my son is working very hard with his friends Mom to get his friend ready to be reintroduced back into school. His friend hasn't gone to school in over a year. Something happened after he was mainstreamed into "regular" middle school classes that he hasn't been able to talk about even to his Mom. Today is his first day back to school. It has been a struggle for his Mom to make the school understand that he does need special care and attention. Our school system doesn't have the therapies/programs available to help him progress and his doctors refused to diagnose him with Autism so he too missed his "Early Intervention." Playing catch up is near impossible. Please keep fighting, keep praying, and above all, KEEP LOVING!!!

Jude is such a cute 3 year old boy. Autism is a horrible and hard disease to deal with, but I know, no matter what, Jude is going to turn out to be a great teenager and a great man. Just take it one day at a time. P.S. I sold you that Incredibles costume...hehe.

Ohmygod! Your video made me cry! My son was diagnosed at 2... Everyting you wrote is true! Doctors should have listened to us earlier, summer school at 3 stinks, 35 hours a week of therapy stinks... having autism stinks. Good luck to all of us and continue to spread the word! God bless.
