    I'm prob not explaining it right but think of it this way. If you put almost anyone in solitary confinement for over a week, they will lose track of time, and essentially have a mental breakdown.
    Our brains are built to "do stuff" and be social.

    Same thing happens with the very wealthy. A lot of people who have a lot of money and decide to stop working and just lay around all day (often at a retirement age) experience severe depression as a result.

    We just aren't built to sit around and do nothing all day. The average person should get bored of running along a repetitive path unless its stimulating their brain for some reason.

    Let me put it another way: How long could you actually enjoy starting a red square? Try it. Draw a red square on a white peice of paper, get really close, and just look at the square. within 10 minutes time should start moving -really- slow. Like 15 min of staring will seem like an hour. And you will prob get drowsy, your mind will wander, you will want to do different things or sleep, etc.

    unless your brain is different than the average person in which case depending on the difference a square could be a whole different experience.
    You basically called her stupid/slow/retarded for enjoying repetition more than you do. The average person would think that's rude.

    i didn't call anyone stupid or slow. Someone with autism might be fascinated by something i would find simple and pointless for hours, but that doesn't make them stupid or slow, or me smarter. It means they experience the thing in a different way than I do.
