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.

I hope this video helps the research effort. I have a 17 year old daughter with Asperger's named Emily. She did not get diagnosed until 7th grade and has made great progress but each day is still full of challenges and struggles, for her and the whole family. She is an inspiration to me each day, even when I am frustrated. She has helped me become a better parent than I would have been if she had not been challenged by Autism. We must all keep trying to find the answer to this puzzle!

Amazing, tugs the heart strings of someone who has worked and seen the amazing personalities of children with autism as you have depicted here. Thanks, listen to it daily.

Wonderful video! My husband and I have a 14 year old autistic daughter. She did not get any intervention services until she was four and a half years old. She is now in a public school in an inclusion program. She does still have serious behaviour issues, but is doing wonderfully. If you'd like to know more about her story, you can check out her website at www.SoundofArt.org
If she can do it, so can other kids.

The mother of a 20 yr old autistic beautiful daughter and proud of it. I am a director of a care provider agency and have over a 100 kids with "special needs" that we provide care for. We just can NOT do enough to help them help themselves. We are all from the same womb. "Treat us with dignity and equality", is what they are screaming out at the world. Thanks for a beautiful song and message from the Autistic kids who can not speak with words what you have said for them.

I have a seventeen-year-old son on the spectrum. I worry every day about his ability to function in society. I wonder what will happen to him when I am gone. Thank you for offering real help for families of autism.
You are an awesome band. I loved you guys before. I love you even more now.
Namaste,

I am the mother of a 25 yr old young lady who has downs and I thank God every day for her presence! She truly shows her father and I what "unconditional" love means and because of this we can show others the same! This is a video that ALL need to view and realize that we must ask God to enlarge our boundaries and to help us reach out to include and fight for, those who may be "Different and Special"! For we truly need each other to survive! My prayer is that we be blessed with the money, research and OPEN/RECEPTIVE HEARTS to get the job done!

Wonderful video. Our daughter didn't get any help until she was four and a half years old. She's 14 yrs. old now and the world was not so aware of autism back then. Even though she started late, she has come out of her shell and is pretty much a "regular" person, whatever that means. She still has serious behavior issues at school, but has recovered and is continuing to recover more and more each day. If she can do it, so can others. If you're interested in her story, please visit her website at www.SoundofArt.org. You'll be amazed at her progress. YOUR KID CAN DO IT TOO!!!

Great video. I am an autism therapist with early intervention. It is a rewarding job when you see the progress a child makes!! I have loved every child I worked with and their families. I look up to each and every one of them on how they keep pushing through life to the beat of the drum they need to follow. Hopefully a cure or cause will be found so we can eliminate this disease. The slogan on my business card reads: Helping to make the world a little brighter. These children do too!!
