Schizophrenia is a disorder of thought. It manifests as psychotic symptoms, disorganized symptoms, catatonic symptoms and negative symptoms. Those include delusions, disorganized speech, hallucinations, avolition, anhedonia, thought disorder, and many others. Sz is thought to be caused by irregular levels of dopamine in the brain.
Antisocial personality disorder is a personality disorder. There is no known physiological cause for it. It presents with symptoms that you can find on wikipedia, like
Persistent lying or stealing
Apparent lack of remorse[3] or empathy for others
Cruelty to animals[4]
Poor behavioral controls - expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper
A history of childhood conduct disorder
Recurring difficulties with the law
Promiscuity
Tendency to violate the boundaries and rights of others
Aggressive, often violent behavior; prone to getting involved in fights
Inability to tolerate boredom
Disregard for right and wrong
Poor or abusive relationships
Irresponsible work behavior
Disregard for safety*
The conditions share that both may have:
lack of empathy for other (in sz it is caused by blunted emotions, and sz people want to have empathy)
trouble with personal relationships (again, for different reasons)
persistent lying (in sz, this would be caused by delusions)
These are very different conditions, so there is not much use in comparing the two.

What is the difference between a borderline personality disorder and a personality disorder?
In sharp contrast to Anti-Social Personality Disorder (sociopathy) is another personality disorder, termed Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the problem is the opposite of the problem of the sociopath: the sympathetic nervous system of person with BPD responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!Meanwhile, in the true sociopath/psychopath, the fight-or-flight reaction is very brief, extremely difficult to sustain even in an emergency, and does not touch certain organs as it ought to do; sociopaths are chronically "bored" because they are literally half-asleep most of the time. (Even though they tend to look awake and behave in an alert, intense manner.)Additionally, although individuals with Borderline Personality tend to use manipulation in various forms such as malingering, these are usually intended to gain the concern or sympathy of perceived caregivers. In persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder, deceit and manipulation are used to gain material gratification such as money, gifts, etc. Also, personality features specific to APD, such as an extreme sense of entitlement, egocentricity, narcissism, and exaggerated self-assurance are typically absent in persons with BPD.
