Does anyone know of any peer reviewed research into Allism. There seems to be plenty looking at autism but none on allism.

I agree with Finley, this would probably be covered by general psychology.
Also, don't forget that there are more forms of neurodivergent than just autistic. People with ADHD, schizophrenia, OCD, learning disabilities, genetic disabilities, brain injuries, and more, are all considered 'allistic' as long as they don't have autism, and yet they are very different and have very different neurological types.
So maybe you are are referring to those who are neurotypical, in which case psychology and sociology are what you are looking for.
Oh ok, I don't know about much research about allistics apart from this paper below:

I am wondering if classifying someone as "Autistic" or "Neurotypical" is part of an Allistic trait to try to group poeple together. Would this need to group poeple explain bigotry and racism? These are ideas I have always struggled to understand or is it just me?
Allistics wouldnt have research on understanding themselves - except psychology in general probably covers that to a degree.
As for autistics trying to study allistics, im not sure.
Actually I was being serious. I was looking at YouTube videos from the Autistic Research Centre in Cambridge which are mainly Allistic psychologists trying to understand us but could find no Research on us trying to understand them. It feels a bit like Americans and Brits trying to understand each other.
No but I do know of this funny and thought provoking video:
What if non autistics are disordered video:
