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.

Your video was very emotional for me because it reminds me alot of our family. We have four also 3 boys and one girl. They are 11(Boy), 9(BOY), 6(Girl) and 4(Boy). Our 9 year old son has Autism, was diagnosed at age 3 and a half and we immediately started ABA, in home training and early intervention through the school district. He is so loved by his siblings and family and I really think he does so well because we have a large family-he has no room to run and hide into his own world-and they really are good therapists also. Early intervention is key.

Your children are absolutely adorable. My son is recovering from autism with the gluten and casein free diet and supplements, too. I would love to discuss and compare treatment with you Are you seeing a DAN doctor?
We tested our son (www.greatplainslaboratory.com) and was found to have yeast overgrowth (from antibiotics). He was also found to have lead poisoning (possibly from recalled toys from China) and mercury poisoning possibly from flu shots or the other vaccines that contained mercury at the time. His GI system was a mess and we didn't even know it.
In case you didn't know about this awesome group... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/GFCFKids/messages This yahoo group GFCFkids helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!! They are helping other parents do the GFCF diet correctly and treat yeast, bacteria, heavy metals, etc. Once I treated his yeast, he stopped going into "fogs," was talking more and more, and the tantrums disappeared. There is a special place in my heart for these amazing children. I just want to help. email me bmansini@yahoo.com or check out this message board where parents are helping other parents recover their children - http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/GFCFKids/messages The video is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and encouraging video with the world, and for allowing those of us who aren't as familiar with the daily struggles of Autism to be educated by sharing your world. Many blessings to the Valls Family! Mel
