Spatial skills are required and some people seem surprised that you need them.
Writing skills are also really needed and a lot of people seem surprised that the autistic kid in the back of class needs to communicate to hundreds of people in a way they understand.
I’m a structural engineer.

Why are spatial skills a surprising skill of a structural engineer? Isn’t that like… crucial?
I’ve seen several structural engineers break down when asked to draw what they designed.
Wait, drawing? That is a different skill? This is what I understand as spatial skill (Wiki: Spatial ability)
When I say they can’t draw it, I mean they can’t visualize how the pieces fit together. It isn’t a comment on their artistic skill.
