[...] when he comes out for meals, he doesn’t communicate or answer questions like “How was school?” or “What do you think of that?” My fiancee and I don’t live together. Is this a phase that he will grow out of, or does he need professional help? Whether Jason’s going through a phase or not depends on whether he has always had poor verbal skills and ignored questions he was asked. Boys that age are sometimes less verbal than when they are older, and their dependence on social media has contributed to it.

If you and your fiancee are truly concerned, she should talk about this with a counselor at Jason’s school and ask if counseling or intervention of any kind is needed.
