Admittedly this doesn't have anything to do with my asexuality, because I identified as ace long before I took Accutane, but I want to talk about it.
I've felt that my cognitive functions, especially encoding new memories, have suffered ever since I stopped taking Accutane a year ago. I Google'd "Accutane and brain damage" and found fora of people who took Accutane discussing impaired cognitive function. So, understandably, now I'm scared. I'm planning on seeing my primary care physician to ask her about this--maybe getting a referral to a neurologist if necessary--and finally going to Disability Services at my college and asking about a neuropsych eval.
If anyone has any suggestions for other things I can do, I'd welcome them.

If you don't mind me asking, did it only start happening once you got off of the Accutane, and not while you were on it? Is that how it happened for these other people as well? How long were you on the Accutane?
I was glad to hear that your meeting with Disability Services went well.
