Is alloromantic the opposite of aromantic? I tried to understand this by reading online definitions but am not sure at all.

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
