As far as I know and remember, in Germany the “Finders Keepers” rule fully aplies on the beach. So if you find something (you are allowed to own) wached up on the beach, you can keep it. And the owner cant do anything about it. A couple of years ago, someone found a container with a motorcycle - and was allowed to own it.

When I entered Middleschool* one of the teachers in charge got me a single desk directly infront of the teachers desk, about 5m away from everybody else. As I remembered, he did this in our first class, without knowing me. And because I “forgot” my home work the first two weeks, I had 1h detention everyday for the rest of the year… It was a pain in the ass but kinda worked for me. My grades got up really fast. He and my class teacher were the reason I took the relevant turn in school to enter College* and university later on
My ADHD got officially diagnosed in my 30s. And back then there was little to no awareness for neuro diversity. For them it was just “a type of person” or “character”. Like some people are calm and dont like to talk much or some people have their issues to behave theirself. So it wasnt something tailored for ADHD. The teachers were acting intuitive and out of their working experience. They were both just before retirement.
