How frustrating.

I personally wouldn't bother with extended norms. You have useful information right here, and since your goal is for a diagnosis and not for the highest possible score, the extended norms won't tell you much more than what you know: WM was way ahead of the other areas, and you have ongoing language issues. Anxiety very much can affect these scores.

My family practices a model of "symptom whack-a-mole." You've noted a couple of overarching issues. I'd find a way to treat those issues and then reassess from there based on progress or lack thereof.

Have you consulted with a speech therapist? I've found them to be rather flexible and able to treat the child in front of them with incomplete testing information.

At the same time, I would look into ways to address the anxiety. Depending on the child, it could be cognitive behavior therapy, a huge amount of exercise, a trial of meds, or social groups (which you'll find through a speech therapist).
