Studies have shown that people who stutter are slightly more intelligent (their IQs tend to be approximately 10-15 points higher than average I believe), but it’s not necessarily because of their neurobiology. There’s no set in stone answer as to why we tend to be slightly smarter, but some people hypothesize that it’s because we learn more words to make up for the ones we can’t say.
