First of all, people shouldn't be diagnosing other people's children unless they're a doctor. The boy who gives one word answers is a typical kid. Mom shouldn't need a psychiatrist to tell her that. It's very, very frustrating, I know, because I have one at home and now the daughter is giving the one word answers. Especially teens, they don't like to be questioned at all! When they're ready, they'll talk. Until then just be patient.

sounds like your son has a mood disorder
my son started acting this way because of his stupidity he smoked sythetic thc because he wanted to fit in with his friends. It effected his brain but now a days after rehab only responds with one word when u ask him a question with yes, no , i dont know ,maybe,nah, AND even while asking a question to him he gets annoyed
You need to talk to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis and understand the toughest part as a parent is to accept the fact your son has a problem and it wont be fixed overnight but a long process and you as a parent will also need to get some help as well because this will also take a toll on you and anyone in your household. (this type of things are whats makes or breaks a family and really tests them)
If you think something is not normal usually means it isn't go with your gut and get help
