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.
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has no paid staff or personnel.

Absolutely beautiful.....my child is not autistic, but Bipolar with ADHD and a chicken soup of other disorders. I can relate to just wanting your child to be able to explain himself and be happy. I will never forget your video or your son. Hang in there!

Love this video, thanks for sharing...eloquent...heart tugging. My 10 yo has autism; the photo of your son with his younger brother hugging him...made me think of my 2 boys (my 5 yo is NT)
God Bless You!

Very nice! Your son is lucky to have parents like you. I have 2 sons on the spectrum. One is 12 and the other is 10.

Thank-you for the video. Each one of these brings more awareness to our cause to find a cure for autism. Hopefully the day that we find that missing piece under the couch is just around the corner. Since learning our son fell into ASD our family has learned a lot about autism. We have also learned a lot about ourselves. I have learned not to judge others so quickly. Good luck with your journey that lay ahead!
