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.

My nephew is autistic and a gift from God. A special angel watches over him. If we keep watching we can make a difference.

This is a wonderful video that has truly touched my heart both professionally as an aide and personally with a little boy whom I provide respite for and have grown to love over the years

I work with individuals with differing varieties of Autism and I find a great deal of joy in the challenges presented to me. I believe every individual has a gift, and we know that often autistic children are gifted. Thank you for this wake up call and the incredible presentation. Five for Fighting have captured it all. i hope this blog makes a difference.

This video was so touching. My 4 year old son was recently diagnosed on the autism spectrum. The video says it all I wish for my son not to be judged by his diagnosed or what he CAN'T do but what he can do.... He is very smart little boy. Keep spreading the word.....

I live in Australia and have an 11 yr old with autism, adhd,id and tourettes, he goes to a specialist school which is just the greatest school on earth. Although this school is for children with a range of disabilities they are never treated like they have one, they are taught that allthough they may need help with some things they are equal and valued like everyone else. If everyone just stopped pigeon holeing these beautiful kids and embraced the wonderful human beings that are, the world would be a much better place.Thank-you for spreading this message and maybe opening the eyes of some misguided people.

Both of my brothers have autism. It upsets me because people show "sympathy" For my brothers. Not "EMPATHY." They treat my brothers like they are better then them, "AWW, HE HAS AUTISM, AWW." Not "He has autism, I'm sorry to hear that." My dream is for people to treat my brothers like them and not like anyone with autism.

What kind of world do I want I wish that my child be treated as an individual-not pigeon holed as the end result of batteries of test taken over the lenght of his life. I wish for his doctors, therapists, teacher, aides to see that he is more than numbers on a graph or points on a line....that his test measure what he may do, NOT what he will do. I wish that they all would see the person that he is --so different from the dozens that they see every day, or the thousands they see every year. I wish that they would see the BIG BLUE eyed, beautiful, giggling little boy with all opportunities ahead of him, not patient client #xxx with his limitations bound to him like shackles. I wish for his happiness. I wish that my son will have all the tools he will need to live his life to his fullest extent. I wish that he will have an adequate education to prepare him for his life ahead, and that he will have the community, friends, teachers, therapists and aides he will need to grow and develop to his greatest potential. Lastly I wish that he will be cared for cherished and loved as long as he lives by loving parents while we are alive, and by a loving circle of family and friends when we are gone. I wish with all my heart that he will be prepared to live in the community and be able to make a contribution to socity in a meaningful way TO HIM. I wish he will be prepared financially and emotionally to live his life fully, not to be dependent on others, but able to have what he needs without worry for as long as he lives. Thats what kind of world I want for my 8 year old son who has autism. This is what I know EARLY intervention, OT, Speech Therapy, Sensory It has been our life weve lived it at 2 they riped my heart out he will never this and that etc. etc. at 8 he goes to a regular school with a one on one. He knows more about this computer than I ever will. Want to talk animals hes your man. I will never forget the day I Finally heard I love you mommy What amazes me the most about autistic children is they are all different but the same in so many ways. The hand flapping he finally could tell me "I do it when Im excited" What a gift from God they are. They REALLY make you look at the world in a different way they are so honest and straight forward and very loving. What kind of world would it be if we were all that way???? Thank you Jacob because of you I am a better person you make me see the world through all new eyes and you are the Best thing that has ever happened to me. Parents I know the hill is upward and the fight is long but dont give up OUR KIDS are such a blessing in so many ways! To the band Thank you for this video it touched my heart.
