Autonomous Access Points (APs) are self-contained that do not rely on a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), they are configured individually. There is no central monitoring or management of APs,.
For Lightweight APs, the functions of an AP can be split between the AP and the WLC. Other functions are carried out by a WLC. The WLC is also sued to centrally configure the lightweight APs. Can be configured in modes such as Local or FlexConnect.
Extra info because I've seen it mentioned in other questions here:
WLC and lightweight APs use a protocol called CAPWAP (Control And Provisioning Of Wireless Access Points) to communicate. This is based of an older protocol, LWAPP (Lightweight Access Point Protocol).
Two tunnels are created between each AP and WLC: Control Tunnel (manage operations) and Data Tunnel (traffic from wireless clients is sent through this tunnel to the WLC, it does not go direct to the wired network. Traffic here is not encrypted by default).
Lightweight AP deployment requires a centralized controller to operate, a.k.a. a WLC.
