Just to jump in on the OPs answer, there are also Guards stationed at two Barracks (Foot & Mounted) in Windsor for Windsor Castle. Different regiments though.

Windsor Castle is her family seat and is as close to her "home" as you can get. Buckingham Palace is more a place of work. She spends a lot more time in Windsor these days.

Not Jory, but I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 34 (a few years ago now!) and also show significant traits of ASD.

Initially, it provided a huge relief as I was able to understand why I had not met my own, and others, expectations in life & career. The biggest bonus was actually understanding were I fail, by societies standards, in my interactions with people and how I could mitigate these failings. And, occasionally move things forward.

Mostly it was around strategy and learning to notice when I was moving towards an emotional reaction or causing an emotional reaction in others. Having strategies to provide myself with time to rebalance and review the interaction was the key. Sometimes this involved explaining to people from the start of my non-Neuro-typical condition or, when this wasn't appropriate, having a valid excuse ready to remove myself from the situation.

My life is immeasurably better since my diagnosis because I understand what the issue is and what is required to make it easier for me to cope. It will take time and work, and as long as he has such a caring partner as you to support him it will also get a lot better.

Yep. The Welsh boys are there now. My buddy left the HCR when they moved out a couple of years ago.

Thank you for posting a reply to my question. But, I think you have skirted around actually answering it. I understand that experiencing what you have experienced gives you insight that I simply wouldn't have.

However, I'm also aware that when someone has been significantly impacted by an issue it can be very difficult to extract emotion from critical thinking and approach the subject objectively.

Do you think you managed to do this? And if so, how did manage to stay objective?
