Here is a brief recap of what I found out about Antisocial Personality Disorder, among other Pd's, in a YouTube lecture based on the book Personality Disorders in Modern Life:
Antisocials violate others rights without seeing doing so as being necessarily wrong. They may even be proud of it, and end up bragging about it.
They are in short, "non-reflective and self-serving".
They have an ego syntonic about their irresponsible actions towards others, meaning their way of being, behaving, and thinking is natural to them and they find no fault with what it is they are doing.
In closing, having a personality disorder requires the inability for the person with it to see their way of being as wrong or deviant to societal norms.
Personally, I believe it also means not having a conscience that should be a part of one's superego in regards to the antisocial pd.
