It takes a lot to disconcert me. Look, I changed sex, OK? Took to it like a duck to water. I managed that without being thrown into a tailspin. But this....

CSS and ABA. They sound so innocuous. ABA is Applied Behaviour Analysis.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the science of applying experimentally derived principles of behaviorism to modify behavior. ABA takes what we know about behavior and uses it to bring about changes of the behavior (frequency, topography, latency, speed, fluency). The behavior is analyzed utilizing behavior assessment to determine the functional relationship of the behavior within the environment.
CSS stands for Contingent Skin Shock, a tool used in ABA, especially on children. They use Cattle-prods on them.
