Auto fold was mainly put into poker as a convenience for other players, not the player auto-folding. The only time it was meant to be useful for the person auto-folding is during tournament play where there is a large number of people and you don't want to hold up the game while you use the bathroom or something. From my perspective, if you need to auto fold and you're not in tournament play, you should just leave the table until you return.
