Antisocial, here, means disregard for society.
Antisocial behaviour might include no regard for right or wrong; no regard for rules or authority; breaking the law; vandalism; public violence; disregarding people outside their group; etc.

You're confusing asocial with antisocial. Asocial is having difficulty with social interactions. Antisocial is against facets of society, like anarchists.

How to remember it: A- means not, so asocial is not social. Anti- means against, so antiocial is against society.

It appears this word has two definitions..

The main principle of linguistics is that if enough people get something wrong it becomes right.

Antisocial is what used to be called sociopathic.

I really don't like the term Antisocial. It is used frequently in British cultures and usually means anti-normal. IMO it's doublespeak
