Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he medical community measures adaptive behavior across three domains: conceptual, social, and practical. To satisfy this component of the definition, a person’s adaptive functioning in at least one domain must be “sufficiently impaired that ongoing support is needed in order for the person to perform adequately in one or more life settings at school, at work, at home, or in the community.” Moreover, the deficits must be caused by the person’s intellectual impairment [and must] ... appear during childhood or adolescence.”
