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.

Kamila, no we haven't tried GFCF yet. If we took away his milk and muffins I don't know what he'd eat! I have heard good things about it though.

Kathie, we knew before he was two but didn't get the diagnosis in hand until he was 2.5 years old. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for the hope for the future. He has come so far already.

Kim!
I can see you tried so many things! Have you tried the casein and gluten free diets and suplements? They helped my autistic son so much..

Katie, no, he didn't get the hepatitis vaccine at birth. He got that shot at 2 months old.

You just wrote all of the feelings I have had for the past 3 years, the costume, the tea cups, people just don't get how disappointing the holidays and birthdays are. When did your son get diagnosed, early I see. If it helps my son is 6 he talks , reads and writes, ours sons are intellegent , they always will be. He opens presents and cares about his birthday. I wish I could tell you it all gets better, maybe not ALL of thesensory issues get better. But things make more sense as they get older. I can see it in his eyes and smile. You are doing a great job!!!

the diets are so hard , if I took away things my son would have nothing to eat he has such texture issues with food. Itry ne things but it doesn' work. I get most of his nutrients through juices, vitamins etc. He loves all of the carbs, but his speech is coming along, is more difficult behaviors changed dramtically and are far less frequent since he was 3 . With maturity I have notices many changes , he had all of the same behaviors as your son, the costume, present, etc. Now it seemed this year he understood holidays and santa , maybe it was because of school? hang in there !!! I'll pass the video on tomorrow . Even f it make my whole class cry!!! ( just want to make you smile!!!)
