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.

What a beautiful, precious boy you have! When I wear my autism awareness wristband, or Autism Speaks puzzle pin, people I don't know just come up to me, and tell me of someone they know living with autism. It is so common--yet, an awareness of it is so uncommon. We families, who have been inducted into the Autism Family, have a big job to do...not to just take care of these valiant children, but to spread awareness wherever we go, hoping that one day:
research will provide more answers than it currently offers...
every state in our nation will provide all the treatment and therapy options available...
all private insurance companies will cover for autism-related expenses...
and that all school district administrations will do the most they are able, for ALL children, not just what they will do to get by. God bless your family, "Our Boys, Our Purpose" Grammy Pammy

An amazing video with so much love,respect and caring showing through!! I too have a son with autism; although I cry I really enjoy these videos because they reinforce my belief on how diverse each little kiddo with autism is! Thane is adorable and you are remarkable for sharing and for being an outstanding Mom. Thanks, Caroline.

I clicked on the video from the ottc group. I think every one says how lucky he is to have you but, I think you are the one who is lucky to have him. He is so darn cute and I am glad he is doing so well. Most ftt babies don't. He seems like he has quite a sense of humor.
p.s. I like all the snazzy over alls! :)

Bec - Thane is a wonderfully gifted child. It might not be as easy for others to see all the time - but you know his heart. His big brother is incredible as well! Not to mention how great mommy and daddy are too!
Thane, I think you are the BEST PIRATE. Others needs to learn compassion!
Thaney - you rock!

Shane is adorable. He reminds me of so many kids I met while working in a Pediatric Department. Thank you for showing the world the beautiful side of these children. Bravo to you and Five for Fighting for helping Shane and others like him. May he be blessed with a life where people accept him the way he is. He's already blessed with a wonderful family.
