Default poor speech mistaken for poor intellect

I get simple satisfaction at times knowing I'm much smarter than they think I am. But my speech is low volume and consonants disappear. It's a strain and feels like I'm shouting to get to normal volume for the listener. People mistake this for dementia. They are wrong. This is a motor component and med side effect.
