Personality disorders are linked strongly with Asperger's syndrome in the study linked below, but Anti-Social Personality Disorder, ASPD was not identified at all in the sample of individuals studied with Asperger's Syndrome. ASPD was only identified in 4 individuals diagnosed with PDDNOS.
The highest association among all groups studied was Obsessive Personality disorder among those diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at 40%, with the second highest identified as Avoidant Personality disorder among those with Asperger's syndrome at 29%.
All other personality disorders were measured in the 20% range and below in all ASD's studied.
Out of 62 individuals studied with Asperger's syndrome 68% had one personality disorder and 40% had two personality disorders co-morbid with Asperger's syndrome. 40% were reported obsessive, 29% avoidant, 21% schizoid, 19% paranoid, and 16% schizotypal, among others identified in the second link below that provides a table to illustrate the results.
Out of 50 individuals studied with PDD NOS, 60% had one personality disorder and 32% had two personality disorders co-morbid with PDDNOS, with a breakdown of the personality disorders illustrated in the table.
Out of 5 individuals studied with Autistic Disorder 20% had one personality disorder, 0% had two personality disorders; one individual was identified with obsessive personality disorder with no other personality disorders identified in this very small sample of individuals with autistic disorder.
The study is worth checking out as it has some other interesting information.

I created a poll on the Wrong Planet website linked below, to see what the opinions of people on the spectrum were associated with this issue. It was a very interesting discussion.
