Why our advancement has slowed down

Ok so most people have agreed that we aren’t really making any great scientific advancements anymore. There aren’t really any modern DaVincis or Neutons. Well I have a theory. So way back in history the autistic people had nothing to satisfy their autistic needs accept science, the arts, etc. So of course that’s all they did all day everyday, resulting in these amazing advances. Nowadays there are too many things that appeal to autists. Why mess around with machines or radical theories when you can just play Minecraft or Fortnite? Why write a symphony when you can watch Game Theory all day? Modern autists have so many easy and efficient options that satisfy their cravings, and it has been a huge detriment to our society. People who could have cured cancer or launched us into the space age have been sucked up by theses stupid autistic time sinks! The guy who was gonna be the next Galileo is probably practicing for a Battletoads speedrun right now! What do you guys think? Does this theory hold any weight?
