It does make a difference to me whether or not the caring is genuine. I have had a lifetime of people caring about me out of pity or obligation, and is therefore not genuine. When someone comes from an ingenuine place with respect to anything, there is definitely a sense of "don't humor me" on my part.
The daughter-having-attended the same school matter is important; read my prior post. I do not want anyone to recall me from my high school years for many reasons, none of which I will discuss in a public forum such as the internet.
Even though my therapist may be a caring person in general, she still has the capacity(like all of us) to just go through the motions. One does not exclude the other. Do I wish I were more like her? No. Marriage and children are life choices that do not work for me. Do I wish she were more like me? Hell. to. the. no. I would not wish my life on anyone. Having Asperger's is a living hell in a world where sociability is a must.
I'm glad you have found a therapist that you feel comfortable with.
