I learned a lot from the discussions about "no-brainer". The word "auto-antonym" came up in the course of the discussions. Can anyone give more examples of "auto-antonyms" for me? Thanks

Some explained here.
One that comes to mind is left = went away or left behind.
My favourites are 'to cleave' - meaning to join together or to split apart. And 'to trim' meaning to take away from (eg. hair) or to add to (eg. a Christmas tree).
