Autistic Toddler won't cover legs

I'm wondering if anyone can help me.. my DD is at school and is on the pathway for autism diagnosis.

She refuses to wear trousers, leggings or tights and doesn't seem to feel the cold. (We've got past it previously by having her in the buggy with a blanket) she had an accident today and instead of putting the spare skirt I supplied on, they dressed her in a pair of spare leggings due to the weather. She was grand in the setting.

However she's been in the midst of a meltdown since we got home. Leggings have been removed and she's calmed down slightly but still very agitated.

I know she needs to dress appropriately for the weather but I'm lost as to what to try. She hates the feeling of anything on her legs. Any ideas?

Thanks x

I and all my generation wore skirts and socks to school all year round. Tights were expensive for my mum. I think I had 1 pair🤣

That's a good point. We only wore socks too. Those white ones that had all the holes in.
