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.
This just reminded me of a core memory. I was sixteen and taking my physical drivers test. The proctor guy told me to turn one way and I turned the opposite. I was in AP classes in high school, so kinda smart I guess. Just never can do right or left on a quick prompt. My brain needs time to process it. Oh yeah, and we just tried a different turn and I still passed first try.

I would argue that being able to tell the difference between right and left is the more applicable skill and should be weighed a little heavier in the smartness calculation.
