Neal Cassady was in fact diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, the counting which you referred to is also common in Bipolar disorder, and his high speed would have been associated with the mania’s that occur in bipolar disorder. In contrast, He had none of the reoccuring muscle jerks or spasmodic attacks that go along with tourette’s. I just wanted to let you know. but due to inter weaving symptoms, your theory was not at all unplausable.
