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.

could not view the video but I have lived the life.
My forty year old son who has Asbergers/Autism is amazing.
You can hear him on WZLX 100.7
The DJ'S have befriended him and he is a regular caller- in to the Boston radio station.
This week HE interviewed two KISS band members on the air.
My message is, have faith. Miracles do happen.
Nobody understood Autism until now.
There is so much hope for your children.
Our children are wonderful.

Thank you for making this video. I have watched several times. It just makes me smile to see your kids doing so well. I especially liked the comments from the parents. We have a son who is 3 years old, and was diagnosed this past december with autism. I hope he will reach such heights as seen in this video.

What a totally AWESOME video. It was definately emotionally charged. I am a special-ed tutor working with a young man who is autistic. He is a truly amazing kid. Thank you for sharing your stories and giving hope to families who are in the same situation that you are in. The more knowledge that we can gather, the better informed we are at trying to understand what autism is all about. And thank you to John Ondrasik and Five for Fighting for providing the wonderful music that accompanied the video.

Your video was awesome! My 3 year old son was diagnosed at 2 and your video gives so much hope. I know my son will go far.

My son has autism. The hardest thing about autism is the loneliness. Can you imagine going to school everyday of your entire school life without a friend in the whole playground? No, neither can I, but that's what many autistic children have to live with. Many of our days end in tears, but I am truly blessed to have such a beautiful loving son. Education is so important - this film is beautiful.

The video on autism affecting three families was excellent. It certainly gave me knowledge I lacked. The courage exhibited by the parents was particularly effective.
Overall, it was informing and sensitive. We need to be educated, and this is one way to do it.
I was touched by it.
