As far as the spatial problems...wow that's really interesting. I have had those my whole life though. Like famously known for not being able to find my way out of a paper bag. The corridor thing really rang true. We only have like literally 4 where I work but 5 months later working here I still get lost.
I know what you mean about getting lost. I went to the same OB-GYN doctor for seven years, and I always, ALWAYS got turned around in there when I went to the bathroom to produce my pee sample. I mean, I couldn't find my exam room no matter how many times I performed this operation. It was embarrassing because the nurses always had to steer me back in the right direction.
