Koonerwit - blend of kook, nerd and twit.
Relver - this word also is associated for me with words "religious" and "very", also with "revolver" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolver) and Polish word "rower" (bike, bicycle). Relver is for me a sort of "relative pervasive giftedness" which I have.

Core - blend of "cogni" and "relver". Cogni (from "cognitive") - set of NT or NT-looking traits such as lack of speech delay, more significant problems with abstract thinking. Relver - relative versatility, such as lack of more marked sensory issues, living in comfortable conditions (no more serious physical health problems, no poverty etc.). "Core" is very helpful feature which I see in my case.

I think it would also work to blend bizarre and disaster to make bizaster- a bizarre disaster.

I may describe my mental condition as "bizastrous", but it is formed from play of the words "bizarre" and "strange", not "bizarre" and "disaster". I have "very atypical" mentality, but I am not so much "disabled" generally, so my condition is not "disastrous".

nerd + twerp = nerp
nerd + kook = nerook
twerp + kook = twook
nerd + twerp + kook = nerpook (tree letters of this word are present in "nerd", three in "twerp", three in "kook").

"Nerd" does not have to mean someone with above-average intellgence here, but means "person with aucorigia", which is my generalisation of the term "Aspie". May have problems in verbal area. It is for example pure "geek syndrome".

"Kook" is bizarre and whacky and may be on the schizophrenia spectrum. It makes you "potty" and "cranky".

"Twerp" tends to be a "wimp", "space cadet", "sluggard" and have not so good marketable/technical skills. "Twerp syndrome" looks like sort of a blend of ADD, NVLD and SCT. It may easy make you unemployed.

"Nerook" means something like "developmentally "schizoautistic", "schizoaspergian" person". "Nerp" is more "inept" and have less practical "results"/skills than just a "nerd". "Twook" may be characterised colloquially as "nutty dullard". "Nerpook" is most peculiar of them - it means "schizoautistic twit".

I am a nerpook from what I observe :( But very "versatile" one.

Imanut - word formed from the phrase "I'm a nut"
Katerism - "classical" Asperger's, especially with above-average IQ. I read about two Kates who like cats much and have AS, are born in the same year, are from the same country and have similar symptoms. It is also reference to "kannerism", "Kanner's syndrome". Sort of play of the words: "Kate", "Kanner" and "cat". "Katerism" is on milder end of the spectrum of "developmental rigid autism", "kannerism" is on more severe end of it. I do not have "katerism".
