Yes, Simply call feedkeys in your autocommand and put in some key, that
won't hurt. Something like this may be:

fu! s:Run()
let k_refresh="\x0c" " this is ctrl-l
" Do whatever you want to be done here
echomsg strftime("%H:%M:%S ") . "Autocommand triggered"
call feedkeys(k_refresh, 't')
endfu

augroup RunContinuously
au!
au CursorHold * :call s:Run()
augroup end

I am not sure, how invasive this will be for the user, though.
