Some literature suggests that at early ages (younger than 3 y/o), the gender ratio is roughly 1:1. This implies that females recover more often than do males. Given that, neurologically speaking, females are the stronger gender, this was seen by some as an indicator of a neurological component in the development of stuttering, something widely believed today.
