Are spatial abilities and executive functions(ADHD) related?

Of course there are exceptions, but looking around me, many people with high spatial awareness also have very high executive functions.

Conversely, people with good language and analytical skills tend to have low executive functions compared to people with high spatial awareness.

Also, this may be a "classical and oversimplified" and simplistic way of thinking, but I feel like there may also be a connection between the right and left brain.

A friend of mine who is left-handed and has high spatial awareness has very high task processing ability, communication ability, and musical ability, probably because his right brain is developed.

So, is there a way to improve these abilities (spatial awareness, executive functions, etc.)?

I have low spatial awareness and executive ability, so I would like to somehow improve my executive function.

Also, I have a strange reaction to medications, and any medication that increases methylphenidate or dopamine greatly reduces my executive function (I have been diagnosed with ASD and ADHD, but maybe ASD is the reason I go into a manic state so quickly)

The medications that have improved my executive function are Clonazepam, which acts on GABA, and medications that increase noradrenaline (specifically Nortriptyline. However, I couldn't continue because of the many side effects on my heart. Also, for some reason Atomoxetine had no effect at all)

In this case, what are some candidates for medications that would improve my executive function?

(Pointing out that the explanation based on the left and right brain is wrong is not what I actually want to convey, but was just used as a simple explanation. Sorry for the misunderstanding.)

I think I may have NVLD. In other words, a partial learning disability. I haven't tried Memantine yet, but I have it on hand, so I'm thinking of starting with a small amount (about 1 mg).
