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.

You are brave and you are strong. What a good mom! I have one on the spectrum, his little brother is showing signs now, too. I don't know how you do it, but you do it well.

I wanted to post a great big thanks to all of you who have come by to view the video and for especially your comments! I was told recently by one of my sons teachers that she'd passed it on to someone else who said they'd already seen it! I am grateful for all of you who have passed it on!
A special kiss and thanks to those of you in Portugal and an even more special thanks to my dearest friend Manuela for her support and taking the time to send the link to her contacts! Beijinhos!

Hi Sweetie,
You should be very proud, cause you're doing a public service. And, of course, you are very proud of those cute boys (and my Goddaughter...).
Kisses from Portugal and keep doing what your heart tells you to

Great video! I have worked with children and adults with Autism for 18 years. Autism Matters in Charlotte, NC. We are major advocates for ALL individuals and families that are affected by Autism. Although, I am not a biological mother of a person with Autism, I teach them everyday in the school system, and I have my home licensed as a Alternative Family Living Home to care for individuals with Autism. I understand your everyday challenges. But, please continue to Stay Positive, Stay Focused, and make sure you hug and kiss your children EVERYDAY!
God Bless!

My son, who was very colicy and had acid reflux, started to develop autism. We found out that MANY MANY MANY kids with autism have undetected allergies to milk and gluten caused by damage to the GI tract (antibiotics, vaccines, etc). My son is a DIFFERENT child now. It's worth a try! Beautiful video and absolutely beautiful children! Thank you for sharing your story.

Our daughter was also diagnosed as being in the 'Autisic Spectrum". Thank you for putting your personal information out there and helping to give a 'face' to this issue. It is very scary how fast this epidemic is developing in our countries children. God Bless and keep up the fight.

That was a great video, I never really knew what autism was all about. Your boys are very adorable!

"Don't hesitate, start now"! That's the point! It was an excellent idea to share this video with the World, as it will be very helpful to other people who have the same kind of situation.
Very good, little sister!
Many kisses from your big brother, here in Portugal!

My heart goes out to you. I have 3 sons - 1 pdd, 1 ADHD & 1 Autistic. I've noticed several videos with siblings w/ ASD. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with multiple diagnosed children. Thank you for sharing and GOOD LUCK!!
