Hi Anonymous,
Becoming familiar with the disorder is an excellent way for all of you to better cope. I cannot offer a personal recommendation but here is some information that I found for you.
SHIZOAFFECTIVE.org: http://www.schizoaffective.org/
This site offers support lists for patients and families, live chat and helpful links.
Schizoaffective Disorders:http://books.google.com/books/about/Schizoaffective_disorders.html?id=FW8UOQAACAAJ
You can review this book on Google books before making a purchase.
Amazon.com offers a wide selection of books on this disorder.

Wishing you, your son and your family only the best,

Maryann
