Gestalt toddler question

[Firstimemum24]

I'm hoping you can help me understand more on language processing.
Is it possible to be both an analytical language processor and a gestalt language processor?
I think my DD uses both ways of learning language. She is 23 months and started talking using the usual words ( 13 M ) mama, dada, yum yum, animals sounds etc. Then moved on to 2 and 3 word sentences etc. 'More crackers please' etc. She does however have a few of learned phrases as I call them although he uses them in the correct context, 'bye bye see you later' 'so cute' 'don’t worry , momma’s here ' . They are phrases she has learned from us, nothing from TV or books . it's nearly like he banks it in his memory to use for again. He does talk in the third person which I understand is common in GLP. Also she love music and sings songs all the time. He has started to answer questions too and understands well. She can follow this sort of instructions : put water on the table , give mummy a kiss , bring mummy the blanket , come over here , time to eat / bath etc . She also answers certain open questions like : what’s this ? Where’s and what’s your name or mummy’s name ? Who’s this ? And in return she asks some questions . She can use all the gestures and point to all her and our body parts and imitation has always been great .
She can asks for what she wants with simple sentences or single words . She passes the ASQ and Mchat test and I have exhausted every route now , the HV , the GP and private paediatrician who don’t seem to consider her a GLP .
She just doesn't seem to acquire language as naturally as my daughter did and I'm quite stressed although grateful she's able to communicate.
my understanding of GLP with a PDA profile is that they are good at communicating their needs and communication in general
Any GLP moms or any advice would be great ? 😊

If she ‘passed’ the MCHAT then you really shouldn’t be overly concerned.

to my understanding yes you can absolutely be both an analytical and gestalt language processor, but given your daughters age I wouldn’t have thought echolalia (which is what she’s doing when she’s directly using copied phrases) is completely normal development in neurotypical children. She can already put flexible sentences together at an early age, so again, I wouldn’t be concerned at this stage about potential neurodivergence, if that is what you’re worried about. Try not to compare your two children, as long as they are developing in a mostly typical way you don’t need to be asking for assessments or interventions just yet.

My son is more of a GLP than analytical and he uses scripted short phrases that he almost certainly doesn’t realise are all separate words, unless they’re written down (hyperlexia). He’s nearing 3.5 years old and mostly speaks in single word gestalts. He can create some flexible language but nothing near what is considered ‘typical’. My son’s first ‘words’ were letters, numbers and shapes at 18 months, with absolutely no functional or social language.
