The survey of 2002 people conducted by Mencap and Ipsos MORI found that a small majority of people did not believe that people with learning disabilities were a "burden" on society, while 40 percent were not sure.
Six percent of those surveyed said they would feel uncomfortable using the same swimming pool as someone with a more severe learning disability.
"Rankin makes you feel at home and it feels like you want to be there and that he's there to support you. And he comes across as funny, a laugh and a joker," Esther Fletcher, who was photographed (pictured below), said in a statement emailed to Mashable.
"Richard and I have been together for a while now. Sadly we’ve both been bullied and targeted because of our learning disability. I had boiling water poured over me once by some school kids," Fletcher said.
