I believe the answer is:

rumpelstiltskin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reported disorder' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'legendary weaver supports family' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'after' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
