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.

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