I understand how this is upsetting. With a span of 10 scale points your husband functions to me seem more difficult to deal with than if the range was narrower. I don't know really, just my logic.
For example I have Process Composites from the 1 to the 126 percentile. The report put me in the intarct functioning range, compared to the scale of 1000 other people, not my own.
"adequate for effective daily functioning" for whom?Also some test components I find biased culturally or outdated. Others don't incorporate language and vision differences and more, for example the STROOP NST.
I don't know what should be done or what therapeutic intervention is recommended. Try contacting MS support groups, people who have walked in your shoes.
