Mandy comes home crying because her mother died and Billy doesn't have the ability to take the cue the she is sad and he says something like, ';hey wanna go play video games?';

Asperger's Syndrome





To be fair, the person in your example may be seeing that Mandy is sad, but doesn't know how to properly react, or may think that offering a fun pastime is an appropriate response to curb the sadness.
There are a few like this, Asperger's comes to mind, but some sociopaths have the same problem, as do several types of organic brain disorder. You;d need to find other irregularities in the person to help narrow it down.
maybe hes just trying to get her mind off it
