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.

It's a good reminder to here this because as the days go on you forget about all the families that could be suffering from different diseases because there are so many. I'll be praying.

good stuff ~ keep getting the message out
there are too many children who can be assisted at an early age to grow up and be as high functioning as most others, early intervention is the answer to proper development

Very insightful and heartfelt look into autism in one child and her family's life.

It's a shame that the government continue to spend so much money on a WAR where the meaning of it has been lost, yet our country refuses to help fight the wars at home to help Americans in their most time of need, when these same Americans are willing to die for our country, yet the government is not willing to fight for their lives.

God presents us gifts in many different ways. The best gift to give back is LOVE.

My son has a form of autism called Aspergers and I fought for almost 4 yrs to have him diagnosed when he started showing symptoms at age 5, he still doesnt recieve adequate services cause we live in such a small town where services arent provided for what is considered a small percentage of kids in the schools who have this disorder!! He is an extremely sweet and loving child who gets easily frustrated by what gets "stuck" in his head!! He is often punished because of his outbursts at school and is a hard kid to handle sometimes but i know that he loves us and we love him too, his little brother is now showing signs of the same disorder and we are trying hard to get him earlier intervention to try to help him better than his brother was!! It is good to see someone being the "voice" for these "special" kids!!

I work at Special Needs Camp for Children. It is called Ramapo for Children (ramapoforchildren.org). And basically it is a camp designed to help the development of autistic children and children along the Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Also working in accordance to the learning and behaviorally disabled.
I am a junior in college at the moment and I am working on becoming a Child Psychologist with a specialization in the treatment of Autistic Disorders. I pray for the world to change so that children like your daughter can be treated with the utmost care and quickness. In my prayers :)

i have two children myself, and it's hard enough raising them both in perfect health, let alone having to deal with any ailment that may inhibit their social progression. my heart goes out to the men and women who are faced with the reality that their child may, or does in fact have autism. i pray that we can find a way to cure this growing problem.

Wonderful video. The government and the insurance companies should be ashamed of themselves for not considering this disorder important or debilitating enough to help families in need of therapy for their children.

Keep up the fight for awareness. I am a Special Education teacher who works with autistic children. Early intervention certainly makes a huge difference!

Granddaddy's Boy, Ethan also is autistic - Ausberger Syndrome. It isn't just any family that God will trust a special child too. Blessings to you.
