Aktism - a condition like mine.

First three letters come from first letters of words "auger", "koobo" and "twemp". The word "aktism" is different from word "autism" only in one place.

Aktism can be also called "actism" ("c" from "cuckoo", "crazy", "crank").

Aktie, Actie - an indvidual with that condition.

NUPUR - abbreviation from Polish phrase "nadprzyrodzone ukryte rozwojowe upośledzenie psychiczne" ("nadprzyrodzone" - "supernatural", "ukryte" - "hidden", "rozwojowe" - developmental, "upośledzenie" - "handicap", "psychiczne" - "mental").

Some neologisms: vamotaha, mentvilgi, einacsir, ulogibeni, etolanasa.

Augerophrenia - a name which I gave to my condition. From "auger" (which can be a blend of "autism" and "Asperger") and "schizophrenia". This name may look very fitting to my case.

Tupai - squirrel in Indonesian
Ardilla - squirrel in Spanish
Risu - squirrel in Japanese
Squirrel - squirrel in English ( :) )

By mixing syllabes of these words, we achieve words like: arpai, ardipai, tudilla, tupalla, rirrel, squisu, ardirrel, squipai, ridilla.

"Elbafiar" - I did not find this word today despite the fact that it has only eight letters and looks not (so) senseless. "Romobodu" was also not found.

I hope you're aware that "auger" is already a word.

It means a big tool with a helical blade (basically an overgrown drill bit) for making holes in soil, or wood, or ice, or whatever. Not to be confused with "augur" which means "to be a soothsayer who predicts the future".

I knew earlier that the word "auger" has a meaning. And this meaning was associated in my mind with someone who has inclinations to one-sided interactions with other. In Polish language there is a colloquial idiom "wiercić komuś dziurę w brzuchu" (literally something like "to drill a hole in someone's abdomen") which means "to bager", "to pester", "to bore", "obsessively" talk to someone... Auger is a tool used to drilling...

Both "supisutaku" and "arukoriku" were not found by Google a moment ago.

Squeaver or squiver - blend of squirrel and beaver. The word can mean marmot, which is a ground squirrel which is massive and have relatively short tail and is often brown, which makes it looking somewhat like a beaver.

There is a recent vogue term used by folks in Colorado for their local species of squirrel:"squabbit" ( squirrel plus rabbit).

Squirrels here in the east are gray, and more gracile. The ones in the Colorado Rockies are black, and burly, and have lynx-like tufts on their ears that make their ears look tall. So to recent transplanted folks from the east Colorado squirrels look more like more black rabbits in the trees than like the squirrels theyre used to seeing.

Gonflapa - neologism which may "cause" associations with words "gone" and "flap".
It has only eight letters and looks quite "logical", but was not found in Google search engine few moments ago.

Dągura or tągura - neologisms containing letter "ą", I made it on the base of Japanese word どんぐり (donguri), which means "acorn".
