"Assi" is a short form of "Assistent" (assistant). Saying "Assi" is either informal or even belittling the person.
"Asi" is indeed a short form of "Asozialer" (meaning an anti-social person, for example an alcoholic). Saying "Asi" is an insult.
"Ossi" is a short form of "Ostdeutscher" (east-German, meaning the people from the ex-GDR states).

Might be a short form of some nationality.
Compare Amerikannen = Amis
West Germans = Wesis
East Germans = Osis

OSSIE = Ost-Deutscher = East-German (someone from the former East German people's republic).
It has an insulting sound to it.
