In Maryland, there are currently just two regional medical centers that provide autism care for pediatric patients; the UM Medicine centers are the first to treat adults with autism.

UM Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute in Baltimore will provide in-person clinical care for patients as well as virtual care for patients who are unable to travel to the facility or who live in certain rural areas.
