[...] 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.

Teens who spend most of their time in the virtual world tend to have lower verbal abilities than those who spend less. 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.
