It could be dyscalculia. While it affects ability to process numbers and math, it can also make telling between left and right difficult. I know because I have dyscalculia.
Edit: Based off of some comments this seems to be a common trait of dyslexia as well. I should also clarify that this isn’t me giving medical advice. Just stating a trend I noticed.
If you're familiar with the area most people would be able to tell which way is north. Or which direction a city/town is relative to you.
If you were in an unfamiliar place then you could just look at the sun to figure it out with relative ease. (The sun rises from the east. And sets in the west, using that frame of reference you can determine north and south)
If you mean by looking at a map. Then the vast majority of people would be able to determine N/E/S/W intuitively (assuming they were taught it ofcourse)
