When we're bored, we are lacking the necessary challenge to inspire us. Don't stay bored, it's depressing and therefore debilitating.
Examine your strengths, if you're AS, then examine what you're hard-wired for and play to that. There's plenty of challenges all around us in the existence, but sometimes we have to challenge ourselves and look for it (that is supposed to be one of our strengths).
For myself, I used to have a boredom problem before I found out not only who but what I was (I'm personally partial to what I hypothesize was our original name, Brahmin)
Now, Brahmin's have duties in this existence, and following one's duty fulfills one, so one doesn't get bored.
My "duty" is that of defending truth; this plays to my hard-wired strengths. I do the best I can at it, knowing that I'll stumble with me tongue from time to time, when I momentarily fail to listen to my heart, and my head goes astray. And, the search for understanding and synthesizing the truth is always an ongoing process, it's a journey, not a destination.
And, being an 'aspie', I, for one, don't find anything boring about defending truth.
