Can I get a tl;dr on the ace discourse you are talking about? I don’t have any overlap with their communities and am out of the loop.

7 out of 8, if you didn’t say you weren’t in the larger 40k community I would have thought that you were.

Aautistic doesn’t follow English’s rules for making words, we don’t do double vowl startings unless they are from very specific loan words that were popular enough to break the rules.

Same was alloistic doesn’t work without a hyphen because when you have an o from a prefix and I from a suffix you need to drop one of them to make the word work.

Basically English has illegal parrings of letters you can’t make and when they would come up you need to hyphen them together or drop letters.

See eject, which is ex-ject but we can’t have xj so we drop the x.

Or attend, which is ad-tend but we can’t do dt so make it tt instead.

Wading should be wade-ing but ei, so we drop the e.

Etc

The prefix Allo just means other, so when you have a pair of things the other one will normally become Allo-thing. Because we don’t make words the culturally accepted default position until there is something to contrast it with, most instances of Allo will describe the culturally accepted default.

Aromantic - Alloromantic

Asexual - Allosexual

Autistic - Allistic
