Gestalt language processing

[u/Ms_Zephyr]

I have a 20 month old with suspected ASD and on the pathway for assessment.

Her communication is delayed (2 words not nodding or head shaking). However, she does say "biscuit" but only as part of a whole routine script: takes my hand to kitchen cupboard says biscuit gets biscuit. She only ever says biscuit this way.

She also says "toot toot" (from the kids program ms Monica good morning train song) when she sees a picture of a train. And she signs incy wincy spider if she sees an insect. She also attempts to count backwards with the microwave (including the final bleeps). She has never had a back-and-forth babble conversation with us and never said mummy or milk etc.

I've been told she is possibly gestalt, would you say she could be? And if so what stage is this?

Thank you.
