Well, here's two articles for a start:

In the first article, we have DeRogatis and Klein, arguing that asexuality is not a sexual orientation:

DeRogatis: “It doesn’t mean that they don’t have a sex drive, it just means that they are choosing not use it.”

Klein: “Every clinician has seen people with no interest in sex, sometimes lifelong,” he said. “Some have been exploited; some have personality disorders; some are terrified of their own sexuality; some are, well, just not interested in sex.”


But we also have Coleman on the fence:

“Some people may not have much of a sexual drive. But does that make it an orientation? It’s a very interesting question that is certainly worthy of investigation.”


And we have Bancroft fairly convinced that asexuality is a sexual orientation:

Bancroft: “I think it would be very surprising if there weren’t asexuals, if you look at it from a Kinseyan perspective, that there’s this huge variation in human sexuality.”


And in the second article we have Bogaert (who is arguably the world's leading expert on asexuality) leaning more towards recognizing asexuality is a sexual orientation:

"Sexologist and professor Anthony Bogaert, considered by many to be the father of asexuality research, says that current data point to 'some intriguing clues that there may be a biological disposition that pushes [aces] to an asexual orientation.' However, he admits 'it's still very much an open question.'"
