Interesting about Tourette’s! I’m not able to find any empirical confirmation of a relationship between Tourette’s and reaction time, but I do see an association between ADHD and longer reaction times, with stimulant use lowering them to control levels.
(Incidentally: as a person with ADHD, this really just illustrates how multi-dimensional time perception is, though, as Filip Sondej below mentions. When I’m on stims, time might feel slower on a moment-to-moment basis—the opposite of how, late at night when I’m tired and have low alertness, music feels a lot faster. But I don’t feel like stims make the entire day feel slower, when I’m looking back on it. In fact the opposite is often the case, since the entire point of them is to make it easier to focus on one activity for a long period of time—which means less variety in the day.)
