^^ Welcome to Dreamviews, Vreenak!
As you describe it, your FILD was successful, and you were LD'ing... trouble was, there was no dream there in which to be lucid:
It sounds to me like you have indeed become lucid, but you started your LD during a period of NREM, so your dreaming mind was not yet in gear to provide you with imagery, yet. If you can, you might try to stay in this Blind Dream as long as you can. While doing so, stay calm and try to think about your upcoming dream. In time, you might find your dream forming as you finally enter a REM period and your dreaming mind spools up once more.
Also, you might consider doing a WBTB in the mornings before attempting your WILD (as you probably already know, FILD is a technique for WILD). You might just need to put some time between your initial wake-up and your WILD attempt, so that you have a better chance of catching your next REM period.
Finally, a couple of small things: As far as I know, Asperger's should not keep you from LD'ing -- though you may have already proven that! Also, during actual SP (which is quite rare, BTW), you cannot move your body at all, so you would not have been able to exit the dream at will if you were in SP ... and that's just fine, because SP is not integral to LD'ing at all, so it is not something to look for or care about. You were likely simply experiencing some REM Atonia, which is the state of gentle paralysis that your body goes into every time you go to sleep in order to keep you from acting out your dream activity with your physical body.
