On the other hand, a person who never autofolds might actually, at times, be playing with weaker hands because that person is more likely be looking for opportunities to steal. But as CJRogue said, you have to be careful about drawing conclusions.
If someone is autofolding, it just means that they have an opening range decided on for every position at that table. This doesn't mean they are using a static chart, their ranges can change based on which opponents are in which positions. So it doesn't mean that they are just "playing their cards". There is no difference between them pressing autofold with a hand, and waiting until its their turn and pressing fold.
So autofolding can't give you any information about the player's range. But you're right about maybe giving some meta information about the player. Like he isn't playing 100% of hands in every situation. And if you see him continuing to autofold in spots where he should probably be waiting to see what a certain player does first, then he may be not paying attention/playing his cards like you said.
